Ogrons are a fictional extraterrestrial race from the British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. Ogrons are low-intelligence, ape-like hominids who live in scattered communities on an unnamed planet on the outer fringes of the Milky Way, far from the central spaceways. The dominant lifeform on their home planet is a giant slug-like lizard named the Eater, which preys on and is prayed to by the Ogrons. Ogrons are hired mercenaries. Those who have employed their services include the Daleks and the Master when he was working for the Daleks. On some human planets, Ogrons are employed as police officers, usually led by a mentally augmented leader. ==Appearances== In ''Day of the Daleks'' in an alternate 22nd Century ruled by the Daleks, the Ogrons are used as Police Forces. At the end of the serial, Daleks and Ogrons travel back to attack a peace conference and make sure that their version of history remains intact. This force is destroyed by a bomb. In Frontier in Space, set in 2540, the Ogrons are used by the Master to attack spaceships of both Earth and Draconia, in an attempt to start a war between the two forces, so that the Daleks can conquer the Galaxy. This serial shows the Ogrons home planet. As well as the original Doctor Who television series, they appear in the Virgin Missing Adventures novel ''The Romance of Crime'' by Gareth Roberts, the New Adventures novels ''Shakedown'' and ''Mean Streets'', both by Terrance Dicks, and the BBC Books novels ''Mission: Impractical'' by David A. McIntee and ''Interference'' by Lawrence Miles. In these books, it is explained that the Ogrons are only able to fly spacecraft via their powerful sense of mimicry. ''Interference'' states that Ogron speech also uses subsonic frequencies and that they are more intelligent than they appear to be from their audible speech alone. A mentally augmented Ogron named Garshak appears as a supporting character in both ''Shakedown'' and ''Mean Streets'', first as police chief for the corrupt megacity on Megarra and later as a private detective. In ''The Romance of Crime'' and ''Mission: Impractical'', the Ogron homeworld is given the name Braah. Because of rapid changes in Braah's climate, the evolutionary path the Ogrons were on got confused, resulting in them being a mixture of primate and carnivore instincts. The Virgin New Adventure ''So Vile a Sin'' named it as Orestes. According to the ''Dalek Survival Guide'', written by various ''Doctor Who'' novelists, the Ogrons have never named their planet, and a committee has proposed the name "the Ogron Planet". The Ogrons also appear, in the employ of the Daleks, in the Big Finish Productions audio drama ''Return of the Daleks''. ;Television *''Day of the Daleks'' (1 January – 22 January 1972)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC: Day of the Daleks episode guide )〕 *''Carnival of Monsters'' (27 January – 17 February 1973)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC: Carnival of Monsters episode guide )〕 *''Frontier in Space'' (24 February – 31 March 1973)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC: Frontier in Space episode guide )〕 *''Dimensions in Time'' (1993)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC: Dimensions in Time (Children in Need) episode guide )〕 ;Audio drama *''Return of the Daleks'' (released December 2006) ; *''Dalek Attack'' (1992) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ogron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
