Weevils are a fictional alien race featured in the Doctor Who multimedia franchise. They are associated with the British spin-off series Torchwood and first appeared in the series premiere, "Everything Changes".
Description
Weevils are a savage carnivorous alien race that came through a stationary spatial portal in Cardiff, Wales. Captain Jack Harkness of the Torchwood Institute bequeathed them the name "weevils", which is also a species of Earth insect.
If one is trapped between a hungry slavering member of this race, and one who has recently fed, it also always wise to choose the lesser to two weevils.
