Gell guards, also known as Gel Guards, (PROSE: Interference - Book One) were blob-like creatures that Omega created while trapped in a black hole domain made of anti-matter.
Biology[]
They had the ability to travel from Omega's anti-matter universe into that of matter. They were unaffected by gunfire and explosions and could use their claws as weapons to create explosions of their own. (TV: The Three Doctors)
History[]
Following many of Omega's first creations escaping the anti-matter universe with the Second Malika, an enraged Omega murdered his remaining creations and heated their flesh into a burning primordial soup from which a more simple servant to his power could be born, the first Gel Guard. (COMIC: Omega)
Under Omega's command they attacked UNIT HQ. They killed a number of soldiers, captured the Third Doctor and his friends, and took them to Omega. (TV: The Three Doctors)
A Gel Guard was exhibited in the Space Museum when the Vashta Nerada invaded. (WC: Hall of Monsters)
