History[]

Destrii is an amphibious humanoid alien who first encountered the Doctor and his companion Izzy Sinclair while trying to evade capture inside an alien spacecraft where she had been stuck for some time. She tricked Izzy into a device which swapped their minds into each other's bodies, intending to pose as Izzy and escape with the Doctor, but he saw through her deception. Destrii, however, was apparently killed while in Izzy's body, and the Doctor ended up travelling with Izzy in Destrii's body, looking for a way to sort out the whole mess.

Eventually, Destrii was revealed to be alive (having been kidnapped by her pursuers) and the mind switch was reversed, after which Destrii travelled with the Doctor for a time, aiding him in dealing with threats such as the Cybermen. How they eventually parted ways and what became of Destrii remains unrevealed.
