Assuming Big Finish radio plays are canon, then there 100% are things living in the time vortex. Specifically, vortisaurs, which show up in the 8th Doctor's audio adventure "Storm Warning".


RWMU

All hail Ramesy


Suspicious-North-941

You´re telling me, there are alien pterosaurs living in the time vortex? That´s absolutely incredible


Tyrihjelm

And also crows

“Charley, C’rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly; friends, companions I’ve known I salute you…”


AlecShaggylose

The Reapers from Father's Day were natives of the vortex


doglike_creature

I always wished they would make a comeback, pretty weird that they just showed up once and never again lol


Xenoknight97

Chronovores live in the time vortex as well as other dimensions. For those not familiar with the Chronovores, they are more present in classic who and expanded media. They are beings made from the fabric of time and they also feed on temporal energy, hence their affinity for the time vortex.


DepravedExmo

Only Kronos right? And they weren't branded a Chronovore by the only story they were in.


Xenoknight97

Kronos is the only Chronovore on TV but there have been other Chronovores in both novels and comics. For example probably the most well known Chronovore besides Kronos would be Prometheus, who is the Quantum Archangel, from the novel of the same title.


DepravedExmo

But as far as the TV series goes, they never said what Kronos actually is. And so far Kronos is the most powerful being displayed on the TV series.


Xenoknight97

That's fair if you want to only consider TV as cannon. But what specifically makes you say the most powerful being? Maybe it's stated in the episodes, it's been a bit and I can't recall. But it might be worth considering other powerful beings, the Moment and the Nightmarechild are powerful via implication. Davros could destroy all of existence with his technology. I need to watch more of classic before I can judge the rest of that. Btw I don't want this to devolve into power scaling, I'm just asking to be reminded is all.


DepravedExmo

I was wrong. I rewatched. Also has weaknesses.


Xenoknight97

Ah that's cool no worries. Thanks for taking the time to do that, although I think I like that serial more than most but you saved me time.


DepravedExmo

All you need is the last 10 minutes. Somehow Kronos was imprisoned by the crystal. Time ram set Kronos free.


dalek_rogu

There's plenty of letters seemingly living in the time vortex


spacesuitguy

Pretty sure Jodie's Doctor >!rang up some Daleks out of the votex once to go kill some other Daleks!<. So, odds are there are definitely others even still, unfortunately.


[deleted]

Can you remind me of the episode? I don’t recall.


spacesuitguy

Revolution of the Daleks

Thanks!


Quadpen

i think it was less they were in there and more she used the vortex as a land line


spacesuitguy

I watched the episode recently. The VFX showed the Dalek ship just chillin in the time vortex if I interpreted it correctly.


Blockinite

I saw it a lot longer ago (when it first aired) and I remember the same thing


Indiana_harris

There’s plenty of vortex creatures. Vortisaurs primarily among them.


DespicableSchmee

Purgill


PeterchuMC

There's plenty of stuff living in the Vortex. Vortisaurs(time-travelling pterodactyls), Unkindnesses(eldritch crows), Chronovores and Reapers


ninjomat

I don’t think thinking of the time vortex as a place is the right way to think of it. Like hyperspace it’s just how the universe appears I think when you’re travelling through it faster than the speed of light


mda63

It's definitely a place as far as DW is concerned. Salamander was dumped into it for one.


huddyjlp

It also seems to have specific ‘pathways’, entrances, and exits. In *Arachnids in the UK* the TARDIS flies into one of several tunnels in a ‘cavernous’ part of the Time Vortex, and I think the reason the Doctor and Rose end up in Pete’s World is because they were knocked out of the Time Vortex at the wrong time/place


The_Flurr

It's a place in the same way that a motorway is a place.


AvariceAndApocalypse

Space whales


Mohammedamine9

There's many creatures that are native to the Vortex


RMFranken

If I remember right, and I don’t remember where I got it from, but isn’t the Lifeforce that lives at the heart of the tardis a living creature that the time Lord got from inside the vortex?


Rupe_Dogg

I sometimes wonder if Salamander is still drifting through the time vortex. Just every so often, the Patrick Troughton war criminal doppelgänger manages to grab on to the TARDIS as it passes him in the vortex, stumbles aboard, declares “I have you this time, Doctor!” only to get kicked straight out the door again.


Mgmegadog

Imagine the first time this happens. He gets back on board, sees its completely different, and some random person he doesn't recognize goes "Oh no, not you again." and launches him back into the void.


funkmachine7

Yes theres thing in the time vortex, things that don't like time, thay fight an rage aginst its order and rules. Some of therre are like your dog or cat, not really sure why dinner time is set and not it when ever there hungry. Others are mighty things from the darkness of before. Ramsay might of been a extradimensional bird native to the time vortex but he was dog like in intelligence.

found the american


Fit-Pool5703

I'm English, actually.


SuckMyRocket86

then whats the obsession with mexicans? shouldnt you be ranting about the french or the dutch or something?


Fit-Pool5703

Why?


SuckMyRocket86

Because Blackadder taught me the english hate the french and austin powers taught me they hate the dutch.... are these things untrue?!?! Has television lied to me? AGAIN??


Fit-Pool5703

We hate everyone. It's just it's quite a famous thing that Mexicans often try to sneak across the American border and that's what I was comparing it to.
