Daleks

Daleks are a fictional race of mutant creatures encased in tank-like mechanical shells, introduced in the British science fiction series *Doctor Who*.

Their harsh robotic cry of "Exterminate!" became iconic.

The Daleks are xenophobic, bent on destroying all non-Dalek life, and serve as the Doctor's most persistent enemies.

In British culture, they've become a byword for ruthless, unfeeling aggression: He ran the department like a Dalek.
