  • They are short, slim creatuers with flat circular feet, bulbous heads, black eyes and varying quantities of fluffy hair covering their faces. Their eyes are completely unable to see in dark, resulting in a state of chaotic fear when exposed to complete darkness. They are also vulnerable to loud noises. Unlike Humans, the Sensorites have their heart located on the central region of the chest.

abstract
  • They are short, slim creatuers with flat circular feet, bulbous heads, black eyes and varying quantities of fluffy hair covering their faces. Their eyes are completely unable to see in dark, resulting in a state of chaotic fear when exposed to complete darkness. They are also vulnerable to loud noises. Unlike Humans, the Sensorites have their heart located on the central region of the chest. Perhaps because of their poor eyesight, they often find it easier to distinguish individuals among their own species by the decorations of their uniforms, making it considerably easy for an ill-intended Sensorite to pose as another. Even more difficult for them is to distinguish between individuals of other species. The Sensorite biology seems similar to that of Humans, as evident by the fact that both species are similarly affected by atropine; a toxic substance produced by an Earth plant which was deliberately introduced to the Sense Sphere's aquidutes following their first contact with Humans. This atropine was revealed to be the source of the mysterious plague that had hit the Sensorite population at the time and was partially responsible for their attitude of distrust toward Humans. Fortunately, a cure to their condition was discovered by the Doctor. The Sensorites are also able to survive in space vacuum, though likely for short periods of time only.
