The Draconians are a race of reptilian humanoids encountered by the Third Doctor. Hailing from the planet Draconia, they are a formal, monarchy-led race, adhering to the rules laid down by their Emperor. The Draconians are tall, with pointed ears and are covered in scaly skin. Those they meet are greeted with the phrase ”My life at your command".

The Draconian interstellar empire – large enough to rival Earth’s – co-existed peacefully with our planet. Peace was almost shattered as The Master – a renegade Time Lord – and his Ogron henchmen hatched a plot to provoke a war between the two societies. This scheme was thwarted by the Doctor and his companion, Jo Grant.
