The Elohim were a faction rebelling against the rest of their race in the higher dimensions. While their species decided not to bother with the three dimensions and leave the creatures in them alone, the Elohim wanted to interfere in the universe.
They were multi-dimensional creatures that utilised spacecraft, but were capable of moving through walls. They appeared as shining skulls wearing shrouds and spoke in whispery voices that echoed. Additionally, their presence caused exothermic osmotic energy transference, meaning the room grew cold whenever they were about to appear.
The Elohim began a "war in heaven" against the rest of their species, who pursued them. Rather than fight them directly, the Elohim set themselves up as "generals" and sought others to fight the battle for them. (AUDIO: Paradise 5)
Behind the scenes[]
- Elohim is Hebrew for "deities", as well as a specific name for the Jewish God.
- They are similar in appearance to the televised villains, the Monks.
- The concept of a species that internally differs over interfering with "lesser" species and engages in a War in Heaven calls to mind the Time Lords, particularly in the Virgin New Adventures novels.
