Larmors

Larmors are a fictional species of humanoid aliens first introduced in the 1960s science fiction television series *Doctor Who*. They are depicted as a peaceful, highly advanced civilization originating from the planet Lamasda, located in the constellation of the same name. The Larmors are characterized by their elongated, slender bodies, large eyes, and a distinctive lack of visible mouths, instead communicating through telepathic means.

In the series, the Larmors are portrayed as a matriarchal society where individuals are judged not by their physical appearance but by their mental and emotional state. Their technology is highly developed, with a focus on energy-based systems and advanced medical capabilities. They are often depicted as wise and compassionate, frequently serving as mediators or guides in conflicts involving other species.

The Larmors first appeared in the 1966 serial *The Power of the Daleks*, where they were introduced as a benevolent race attempting to help the Earth against the Daleks. Their telepathic abilities and non-violent nature make them a stark contrast to many other hostile species in the *Doctor Who* universe. Over the years, they have appeared sporadically in various episodes, often as allies to the Doctor and his companions.

Their culture emphasizes harmony, intelligence, and the suppression of negative emotions, which is reflected in their physical appearance—often depicted as serene and androgynous. The Larmors are also known for their use of a unique form of energy, often referred to as "Lamarian energy," which they harness for both technological and spiritual purposes.

While the Larmors remain one of the more obscure species in the *Doctor Who* universe, their presence highlights themes of diplomacy, peace, and the potential for interstellar cooperation. Their design and portrayal have influenced later depictions of advanced alien civilizations in science fiction.
