Other Casings - Overview

The majority of low-rank Daleks are encased within the standard Travel Machines as designed by Davros and subsequently Dalek engineers. Variations and differing designs do exist and a number of more esoteric designs have been sighted over the years. Whilst a number of these can be eliminated from a serious study as hearsay and conjecture – such as the tall, boxy "Marsh Dalek" sighted on swampy battlefields, some of the more plausible are detailed within this section. It is perfectly feasible that some of the less plausible casings were the forerunners to their more common successors – for example, the Marsh Dalek could well have been a prototype Strider casing. Overall, the casings examined here conform to known Dalek aesthetics and seem logical inclusions for this reason.
