The Gods of Ragnarok are a trio of powerful alien deities which reside on an alternate dimension which can be accessed from the planet Segonax. When manifesting themselves outside their own realm, they take the form of a Human family consisting of a father, a mother and a young daughter.
Described by the Doctor as being rather lacking in imagination, the Gods of Ragnarok seek constant entertainment by forcing other creatures to perform acts of art, skill or bravery for them; and disintegrate those who fail to impress them. They're also capable of reanimating the bodies of the dead.
Appearances[]
- Doctor Who, season 25, "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" (1988 - 1989)
Notes[]
- Andy Lane's novel All-Consuming Fire identifies them as Great Old Ones.
- In spite of their name, they don't appear to have any relation to the Nordic Ragnarök.
