- There were a range of Dalek mutant designs used in the Classic Series of Doctor Who. In this video, we will be taking a brief look at each design, pointing out the notable features of each.

5 Doctors Dalek distruction and inards remains the best ever depiction, Resurrection also used a simplified version of the effect to great affect.
I think the imagination always worked best IMO. Remembrance’s mutants always haunted me as a kid.
My favorite in the classic series is the one in Resurrection that tries to escape after its machine gets destroyed, I think it looks the most like an actual living creature, even if it is a bit more obviously squid-inspired than an alien mutant would necessarily make sense to be. I was pleased when the most recent mutant design introduced in 2019 was based on it, but I do wish they'd kept the vestigial face from the 2005 design, that was a really neat idea.
As one of the fans who saw the first ever episode ( the day after the Kennedy shooting ) and enjoyed every episode, up to and including the first Dalek story, with William Hartnell, I can tell you all, that, when we saw the 3 pronged claw trying to come out from under the blanket, we all thought.... What the HELL type of creature is it ????... Nothing like that had ever been seen on the black & white TV before... AAhh, those were the days... When we, the viewers, HAD to try to use our imaginations...
To be honest I prefer it the classic way, I like that it was left more to the imagination than just showing what mutant looks like in the first modern who episode the daleks show up in.
i like the imperial on the transmat because you can make out a brain and limbs but it's so very vague
I like the remembrance mutant design mainly because of the mechanical claw element! :)
it makes a lot more sense since the dalek can actually manipulate things without having to switch to a claw or use plunger only controls.
The Resurrection and Five Doctors octopus was pretty okay but would’ve loved to see slightly more of the Borgified Imperials.
I did not realize imperial Dalek mutant had claws! I'll need to rewatch remembrance! Seeing the first three claws mutant under the blanket mades left quite a bit to the imagination I'll have to admit, maybe my idealized mutants would have slaws or some sort!
Dunno why the Daleks didn't bring back that claw add on....
It would be pretty useful to have the ability to bite, strangle and crush your enemies if the casing gets wrecked.
I really like the first appearance, the reptilian claw implies that it's less krang and more of a small repile like creature, the idea of the daleks further mutating over time is interesting
Hmm… my theory is that as time goes on, more and more of the Kaled host is lost to mutation and cybernetics leaving us with something so far off from the First Daleks it’s unrecognizable.
Paradigm Daleks are the last strain of “Purity” but see the benefits of current Dalek hosts and keep that aspect while remaining “chaste”.
All in all, I like the imagination of Early Who, and the Emperor of current Who just looks awesome.
The recent illustrated version of the novelization of the first dalek story has a few pages showing the dalek mutant which unlike most tv dalek mutants , has hands and a mouth with teeth , though dose have 1 eye like RTD era mutants.
I saw it too, and it completely caught me off guard! It was horrific.
@@nickthepick8043 What's the name of the book?
@@nickthepick8043I would like to know the name of it as well.
Sorry for taking so long to reply everybody. The title of the Book is just called: Doctor Who and the Daleks (Illustrated). Look it up online and you'll find it.
@@nickthepick8043 Thank you!
I had never thought the claw as mechanical .. everytime I watched I just took it as a mutation of the Kaled mutuant within the casing.
When Rachel and Allison are examining the Dalek, Rachel points out that the Renegade mutant was 'almost amaeboid' with 'vestigial limbs', and that the Imperial was totally distinct from the Renegade because it had mechanical prosthesis grafted onto its body, implying that the claw is one of those additions
A dead kaled mutant also appeared at the end of the 12th episode of The Dalek's Master Plan
The green Kaled mutant is the best.
Why would Davros think turning humanoid beings into tentacled creatures with their brains exposed and lacking an eye would make them better?
Looks like the original dalek mutant from the original series
We also saw the creatures in The Daleks Master Plan when the time destructor is switched on, however due to the episode being lost, i'm not sure we'll ever get a full picture of how that actually looked aside from maybe 1 or 2 stills.
The way the Dalek mutants appear now works much better.
Hey cool video could you do the evoulution of daleks point of view from the eye stalk and there sight
I like the Chibnall era mutants most I think
I honestly wouldn’t mind if Dalek mutants were designed to look like the original form of Gabriel from the movie _Malignant_
It would be a massive departure from what’s been established, but could be designed as the full form of the original 1963 mutant, and in my opinion would be a more disturbing sight.
But, again, it would be a massive departure from what we’ve had since at least 1983.
The cattle prod wasn't actually on a Dalek. It was a separate press type of equipment that brought the creature to life.
Can you do a video on asylum of the daleks when they were listing of all the dalek encounters with the doctor

It would be interesting to find out how some of these were made.
Preferred the old school mutants. They all look the same now. Just vary in size
I think Dalek bumps needs to do a vid on the Psyche dalek
I didn't think that Imperial dalek claw was a cyber-prosthesis, I thought it was just a vestigeal limb.
I guess neither really makes sense. Davros would've bred out extraneous limbs and things for pure Daleks and they're supposed to firmly believe in their evolutionary and design perfection as the integrated creature in armed and armoured casing.
