Creatures composed of proteins drawn from the atmosphere of prehistoric Earth by a mysterious figure known as Kalid. He used them as his servants. Moulded by psychic powers, they generally appeared as crude shapeless creatures or as a bubbling mass, but could also be fashioned into more elaborate - and deadly - forms through Kalid's willpower. Apparitions of Adric, the Melkur and a Terileptil were created to attempt to stop Nyssa and Tegan approaching Kalid's citadel, and a two-headed reptilian monster was also summoned up by him to attack the Doctor's friends.
Kalid was in fact the disguised Master, and he learned the technique of creating the Plasmatons from the captive alien Xeraphin. The Master had intended to kill all the passengers and crew of a captured Concorde airliner to provide raw materials for more Plasmatons, once he had no further use for them.
Appearances: Time-Flight (1982).
- They're a bit rubbish. All they do is sway from side to side. No threat at all - totally 'armless.
- Hard to believe that they were from the same team who produced the Cybermen for Earthshock - thus proving everyone can have a bad day.
- We should simply count ourselves fortunate that the figurine collection ended before they got to this lot.
