Jagaroth

Xenocidal expansion and temporal manipulation

Description

A warlike and doomed alien race, the Jagaroth were stranded on a dead planet after a catastrophic failure of their warp drive experiment. Their leader, Scaroth, was willing to sacrifice his entire crew to flee their dying world and reunite their scattered people using stolen technology. Known for their ruthless pragmatism and disregard for life, the Doctor dismisses them as a race whose absence from the universe leaves no deficit, noting their vicious and callous nature. Their derelict ship, discovered in Earth's prehistoric past, became a tomb of their failed ambitions and the catalyst for Scaroth's desperate temporal gambit.
