‘Doctor Who’ fans are so into this cute, hangry creature called a ‘Pting’

There’s a hangry little new creature on Doctor Who and Twitter is into it.

Dubbed a Pting, the small but fierce newcomer appeared on Sunday in “The Tsuranga Conundrum,” the fifth episode of Series 11, which stars Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor.

Without spoiling too much, the Doctor and her crew found the creature somewhere in the galaxy, hanging out on a spaceship. It’s super cute, but is poisonous to touch, and though non-carnivorous, it will feed off any kind of non-organic material it can find.

The Pting’s rampant insatiability was something that struck a chord with some on Twitter.

Sure, it’s a little vicious, but it’s truly cute, and a damn sight less terrifying than the Weeping Angels. Folks on Twitter ran with their own interpretations of the Pting, and where they’d seen it before.
