Doctor Who is a long-running British science fiction TV series that premiered in 1963. The show is centered on the character of the Doctor, an alien time traveler from the planet Gallifrey who travels through time and space in a ship called the TARDIS. The Doctor Who series is known for its unique blend of science fiction, adventure, and drama, as well as its iconic villains and monsters.

One of the most memorable villains in the Doctor Who series is Davros, a genetically modified Kaled scientist who created the Daleks. Davros is one of the Doctor's oldest and deadliest enemies, and has made multiple appearances throughout the series. He is known for his cunning, manipulative nature, his twisted sense of morality and his unbridled hatred for all other life forms.

The story of Davros begins on the planet Skaro, where a war rages between the Kaleds and the Thals. The Kaleds are a race of beings that are dying out due to years of nuclear war, while the Thals are a peaceful humanoid race. The Kaleds have built a network of bunkers to protect themselves from the radiation, but they are also creating weapons of mass destruction to wipe out the Thals.

Davros is a brilliant scientist who is working on a way to preserve his race by genetically modifying them into powerful, armored creatures that can survive in the wasteland. He creates a life support system to sustain his own life, but in the process, he becomes mutated and wheelchair-bound. Davros becomes obsessed with creating the perfect being, one that is unencumbered by morality or compassion, and so he begins work on the Daleks.

The Daleks are a race of armored mutants that are created from the Kaleds who have been genetically modified and mutated by Davros. They are ruthless killing machines that seek to exterminate all non-Dalek life forms, and they are the Doctor's most persistent enemies.

Davros appears in several episodes of Doctor Who, and each time he is shown to be more manipulative and ruthless than before. He returns in the episode "Genesis of the Daleks", where the Doctor is sent back in time to prevent the creation of the Daleks. Davros is behind the creation of the Daleks, and he is shown to be more insane and dangerous than ever before.

In the episode "Remembrance of the Daleks", Davros returns again, this time with a plan to destroy the Time Lords and conquer the universe using a powerful weapon called the Hand of Omega. The Doctor and his companions must stop Davros and the Daleks from obtaining the Hand of Omega, and prevent them from using it to unleash destruction on the galaxy.

Davros is a complex and fascinating character, and his obsession with creating the perfect being has led him down a path of madness and destruction. He is a formidable opponent for the Doctor, and his appearances in the series are always exciting, dramatic, and action-packed.

Overall, Doctor Who is a captivating sci-fi series that has captivated audiences for over 50 years. The show's unique blend of adventure, drama, and science fiction, combined with its iconic villains and monsters, make it a must-watch for fans of the genre. And no list of Doctor Who monsters would be complete without mentioning the scheming and dangerous Davros, a true fan-favorite villain.
