History
The Slitheen were a family consisting of the egg-laying calcium-based Raxacoricofallapatorian race native to Raxacoricofallapatorius. It was said that they bribed their way into government and under their rule they crashed the planetary economy thus causing the people to turn against them. Their cousins were the Blathereen family who maintained a rivalry with the Slitheen. (Episode: The Gift)
Their rule crashed the planet's economy and eventually, the population rose up against them. (Episode: The Gift) The entire family was tried and found guilty in perpetuity and sentenced to death. (Episode: Boom Town) The Judoon forced the Slitheen out and many of them fled justice. (Episode: Revenge of the Slitheen)
In 102, the Slitheen were among the factions who joined the Pandorica Alliance. They came to Stonehenge and helped imprison the Eleventh Doctor in the Pandorica to save the universe. (Episode: The Pandorica Opens) When the plan failed, they were turned to dust and removed from the universe along with the rest of creation. They were returned when the Doctor 'reset' the universe. (Episode: The Big Bang)
Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen survived; having teleported to the Isle of Dogs. Later the same year, in September, Blon managed to get herself elected Mayor of Cardiff, and tried to abuse her position in an attempt to escape being stranded on Earth by destroying a local nuclear reactor. The Cardiff Space-Time Rift would amplify the explosion so it would not only destroy Earth but enable her to escape the planet safely on her extrapolator. This effort was also foiled by the Doctor and his allies when the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to reverse Blon's teleport. When she tried to use the TARDIS as a secondary explosion, the Doctor used the heart of the TARDIS to revert Blon to an egg, and later returned her to her home planet to be given a second chance at life. (Episode: Boom Town)

They had the means of wearing the skin of a human in order to disguise themselves but they needed human beings with a large body frame. A compression field device was fitted on the neck and shrank them to fit inside the skin. (Episode: World War Three)
