J id for... Jagrafess


The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe was secretly installed on the news broadcasting Satellite Five by the Dalek Emperor. The plan was that the Jagrafess would manipulate human history, weakening it, so that the Earth would be easily invaded and conquered by the Daleks.
The Jagrafess employed a human news Editor, who called his boss "Max".
The creature appeared to be a huge mass of flesh, with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. It clung to the roof of Floor 500, at the very apex of the satellite. Its metabolism was such that it overheated very easily, and so the floor had to kept at sub-zero temperatures. Max and the Editor required some human helpers, but these were always killed, and their bodies then animated like puppets.
When the Doctor visited Satellite Five in the year 200,000, he immediately spotted that something was wrong. Not only was the place extremely hot (as the Jagrafess had to channel excess heat to lower floors), but the Earth was going through an isolationist phase - when it ought to be embracing alien cultures.
After being captured by the Editor, the Doctor was able to convince one of the satellite's employees to channel all the heat back up to Floor 500. The Jagrafess overheated and exploded, killing the Editor in the blast.

Voiced by: Nicholas Briggs. Appearances: The Long Game (2005).
  • The main inspiration for the Jagrafess was the corpulent newspaper owner Robert Maxwell.
