The Autons are artificial life forms, consisting of 'living plastic'.
Biology[]
The Autons are extensions of an entity known as the Nestene Consciousness, which has the ability to alter the molecular structure of plastic and give it life-like properties.
Notes[]
- "Rose" also featured an Auton facsimile that could change the shape of its features and limbs, and established that the Nestenes animate the Autons by means of 'telepathic projection'.
