The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race in Doctor Who. They are reoccurring series antagonists.
The episode "Genesis of the Daleks" is an episode of note, involving the Timelords sending the Doctor back in time in an effort to stop the Daleks from being created in the first place.
Dalekmania
Dalekmania was the name given to a craze surrounding the Daleks, that occurred soon after their introduction in the 1960's, especially amongst children.

Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Antagonists: much like canon, the Daleks are often portrayed as antagonists in fanworks featuring The Doctor and his companions.
Fanworks
- Long photoset, but I had to because THIS IS SO AWESOME AND ADORABLE!, in which a group of school children build a Dalek.
