In Terror of the Zygons, it was revealed that centuries ago, the Zygon homeworld was destroyed in a Stellar explosion. A craft escaped and somehow made it to Earth, where it then crashed into Loch Ness. When the Doctor encountered the Zygons, they were led by a war lord named Broton. Broton wished to conquer the world to allow a refugee fleet of Zygons to colonise Earth.

The Zygons were also accompanied by an armoured cyborg creature called the Skarasen, the lactic fluid of which was necessary for them to feed. The Zygons have shape-shifting ability, but they must keep the subject alive in order to use its body print.
