[edit] Blathereen vs. Slitheen

Maybe I need to read the book again, but I am pretty sure the Blathereen were described as nearly identical to the Slitheen. Otherwise the Slitheen would be unable to wear their skins. Chronolegion 13:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The only place the size of the Blathereen is mentioned is by Flowers on page 141 and refers to only one of them (Ermenshrew). The quote is 'bigger and paler than either Ecktosca of Dram Fel Fotch.' Since the Slitheen do wear the skins of the Blathereen at the end of the book, unless they've also developed an "expansion" devise (not mentioned anywhere in the book), they wouldn't be very convincing. Since both the Doctor and Rose have seen Slitheen before, it seems that one or both would mention it if these new monsters were so much bigger (on average) than those they had seen before. I changed the reference, in any case. Gwydionmom 15:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
