The
original reptilian civilised inhabitants of
Earth, the Sea Devils were the marine equivalent of the
Silurians. Their people dominated the Earth at the end of
the dinosaur era, just as mammalian life was beginning. Their
scientists detected a large asteroid approaching Earth, reasoning
that as it passed, it would draw the atmosphere away, making
Earth uninhabitable.
The reptile people built themselves vast underground and undersea
shelters, placing themselves into hibernation, setting timing
mechanisms that would awaken them once the atmosphere returned
after the asteroid had gone.
However, the asteroid fell into orbit, becoming Earth's Moon,
so the atmosphere never altered and the timing mechanisms
never awoke them. Over millions of years, Earth's continents
moved, destroying all evidence that their civilisation had
ever existed.
One Sea Devil shelter was disturbed off the south coast of
England and with the aid of the Master,
the Sea Devils attempted to destroy humanity and reclaim their
planet.
The
Doctor was forced to set
the self-destruct mechanism in the shelter, wiping the Sea
Devil colony out to avert a war. In 2084, Sea Devil warriors
joined with the Silurians in an
attack on Sea Base 4, but were wiped out.
