Created without any ability to feel compassion or pity and motivated only by hate, fear and an implacable belief that they are the superior creatures in the Universe, the Daleks are the Doctor's oldest enemy. From the moment the First Doctor encounters them on their home planet of Skaro, their ruthlessly destructive nature is clear. Then when Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor is captured by them in Asylum of the Daleks, he is sent on an impossible mission to a place even the Daleks are afraid of.
