| - Vashta Nerada were swarming, carnivorous beings. The name meant "the Shadows that melt the flesh".
- Vashta Nerada spread to many planets by unknown means. While their swarms were not common, they inspired fear of the dark in most species, since any shadow could be made of Vashta Nerada. According to the Doctor, this was why almost every species in the universe was afraid of the dark. While individual Vashta Nerada and small swarms were relatively harmless, larger swarms could strip a being of its flesh in seconds. They could also coordinate as a single being, being able to animate a space suit to move.
- Die Vashta Nerada sind eine in der Dunkelheit in Schwärmen lebende körperlose Spezies. Sie treten in Erscheinung als der Zehnte Doctor mit Donna Noble die größte Bibliothek des Universums besuchen will. Dort beschreibt er sie Donna am Anfang erstmal als "... das, was in der Dunkelheit ist. Das ist das, was immer in der Dunkelheit ist". Im Laufe der beiden Episoden bleibt es nicht bei dieser vagen Beschreibung, man erfährt das die an vielerorts herrschenden Schatten und die Dunkelheit nicht auf die normale Art entstehen, sondern von einem "Menschenfressendem Schwarm" herrühren.
- The Vashta Nerada were microscopic beings that lived in swarms, thousands strong. Individually, Vashta Nerada were not a threat. They were very small; the Tenth Doctor claimed that some of the dust specks visible in bright sunlight were single Vashta Nerada or small swarms, not large enough to be a threat to most life. In large numbers, they could strip a creature to its bare bones in milliseconds. (TV: Silence in the Library) Vashta Nerada swarms were sentient and two spacesuit-inhabiting swarms developed the ability to communicate with the Doctor through the spacesuits' neural relays. (TV: Forest of the Dead) They also coordinated their efforts and made the spacesuits walk, though with some difficulty; they walked slowly in a "zombie-like" fashion.
- Vashta Nerada was formed by the necromancer Takel after he fled into exile from Khemi. Traveling to unknown places, Takel made contact with someone only referred to as The Dark One. This being granted to Takel unique powers and magic, in return for his help and service. Takel began to recruit and bring to him powerful warriors, mages, thieves and priests, and brought them all into the Shadows.

| - The Vashta Nerada were microscopic beings that lived in swarms, thousands strong. Individually, Vashta Nerada were not a threat. They were very small; the Tenth Doctor claimed that some of the dust specks visible in bright sunlight were single Vashta Nerada or small swarms, not large enough to be a threat to most life. In large numbers, they could strip a creature to its bare bones in milliseconds. (TV: Silence in the Library) Vashta Nerada swarms were sentient and two spacesuit-inhabiting swarms developed the ability to communicate with the Doctor through the spacesuits' neural relays. (TV: Forest of the Dead) They also coordinated their efforts and made the spacesuits walk, though with some difficulty; they walked slowly in a "zombie-like" fashion. The Vashta Nerada lived in the darkness. They cast shadows when they entered the light — even stopping the reach of light from fission lamps. On their own, outside of the darkness, a Vashta Nerada swarm looked like a shadow cast by nothing. They mimicked the shadows of their prey to get close, which meant staying in the light was the only way to escape. Light also slowed them down somewhat, but if the swarms were great enough, the effects of light would be minimised and overcome quickly. If someone had an extra shadow, it was already too late. The Doctor could detect the difference between a Vashta Nerada swarm and an ordinary shadow by using his sonic screwdriver. (TV: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) The Doctor believed they had no weaknesses, and the only thing to do was to run. (TV: Silence in the Library) Besides the swarm in the Library, the Doctor indicated that the Vashta Nerada were generally harmless. Existing on over a billion planets including Earth, the Vashta Nerada inspired a fear of the darkness but were nowhere near as aggressive as they were in the Library. The Doctor stated that he'd never seen a swarm as large or as aggressive as the Library swarm. However, this unusual aggressiveness came from the fact that the books were printed with paper from the trees of the Vashta Nerada's forests and thus they saw the Library as their "forest." (TV: Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead)

- Die Vashta Nerada sind eine in der Dunkelheit in Schwärmen lebende körperlose Spezies. Sie treten in Erscheinung als der Zehnte Doctor mit Donna Noble die größte Bibliothek des Universums besuchen will. Dort beschreibt er sie Donna am Anfang erstmal als "... das, was in der Dunkelheit ist. Das ist das, was immer in der Dunkelheit ist". Im Laufe der beiden Episoden bleibt es nicht bei dieser vagen Beschreibung, man erfährt das die an vielerorts herrschenden Schatten und die Dunkelheit nicht auf die normale Art entstehen, sondern von einem "Menschenfressendem Schwarm" herrühren. Es sind die "Piranhas der Lüfte", was eine sehr treffende Beschreibung ist, da, als er ein Stück Fleisch in die Schatten warf, nur der blanke Knochen zurückblieb. Wortwörtlich heißt es allerdings "Die Schatten, die das Fleisch schmelzen". Sie treten wohl auf den meisten Planeten auf (die Frage des Heimatplaneten bleibt somit offen), jedoch in kleinen Gruppen die meist ungefährlich für Menschen sind. Nur selten verschwindet ein Mensch und kehrt nicht aus den Schatten zurück, normalerweise ernähren sie sich von Wild bzw. Wildunfällen. Man kann sie manchmal sehen, es ist der "Staub in den Sonnenstrahlen". Sie besitzen anders als andere Alien-Rassen über keinen bekannten Angriffs- bzw. - Schwachpunkt, es bleibt nur die Flucht, oder evtl. Verhandeln wie der 10. Doctor es tat. Es ist ihnen möglich sich bei einer "Futterquelle" (wie einem Menschen) einzuklinken, dies äußert sich wie in der Folge zu sehen ist an 2 Schatten. Zweck des ganzen ist die Beute "frisch" zu halten. In diesem Fall trug die "Beute" einen geschlossenen Raumanzug (der Doctor erhöhte die Dichte um 800%), dies half nichts, die Vashta Nerada kamen durch (zweiter Schatten weg), fraßen die Beute (den Mann) und steuerten dann den Raumanzug. Durch das vom Mann getragene Neurorelais war es ihnen daraufhin möglich zu sprechen, auch konnten sie den einen verbliebenen Schatten zum Beutefang nutzen, sprich exponentiell ausdehnen.

- Vashta Nerada was formed by the necromancer Takel after he fled into exile from Khemi. Traveling to unknown places, Takel made contact with someone only referred to as The Dark One. This being granted to Takel unique powers and magic, in return for his help and service. Takel began to recruit and bring to him powerful warriors, mages, thieves and priests, and brought them all into the Shadows. In many respects, Vashta Nerada seems to be a mercenary unit. They will often hire themselves out for almost menial tasks, from delivery and protection to more marital things like aiding Cimmeria against the Vanir. They have also shown themselves to not be above more sinister tasks such as theft and assassination. Such acts only lend themselves to the mystique of the group. However, beneath the surface, they are much more then mercenaries. Takel speaks to the Dark One, and works towards his mysterious plan. What that plan is, none will say, but behind the walls of Babal Nasir, something is stirring. (OOC we are a Casual/Light RP group. While we do have a lot of lore for the group, we only ask that members be open to RP and not disrupt it. Forum registration is required, and we ask that it take place within 7 days of joining. We look to be in AoC for a long time and want to do whatever we can to help players reach their goals.)
