The Krafayis

The Krafayis appears in season 5 episode 10: Vincent and the Doctor.

This was an amazing episode, Amy and the Doctor go back to France, 1890 to talk to Vincent van Gogh about an alien looking creature that they saw in Vincent's famous painting, The Church at Auvers.

Actual Van Gogh : The Church at Auvers

When they got there they quickly realized that Vince was a poor, drunk man, who nobody seemed to like. Right after they meet him, a young girl is murdered, the town blames Vince. The Doctor and Amy are able to slyly convince Vincent to let them stay at his home for a few days.

During a conversation about "hearing the colors" Amy screams off in the distance. She was attacked by something invisible. Now this scene, is quite possibly my favorite,  Vincent fights off this invisible creature, that only he can see, while the Doctor claims that he is having "some sort of fit"

Matt, the Doctor, uses this clever little machine that gives information on whatever it sees. The machine spots the creature and gives us the following information :

•  Krafayis,
• Planet of Origin: Uncertain
• Nomadic pack animals
• Strict dominance hierarchy
• Huge Territories, several solar systems wide
• Preferred Habitat: Planets with Oxygen and Nitrogen based atmospheres

The Doctor later elaborates by saying that the Krafayises travel in pacts around the universe, and when one falls behind, the pack leaves it. And that's how this one ended up in France.

The Krafayis is a vicious creature that kills as the pack travels. It almost looks like a giant chicken, with creepy eyes and the height of NBA player Yao Ming. 

The Krafayis problem ends up being solved, but I will not say any spoilers.
