Cybershade - who will appear in the Christmas Special this year - has been described by insiders on the long-running science fiction television show as "Cyberman gone bad".
The insider added: "Like we did with the Daleks, we taken the original robot and made it a bit more sinister. They Cybershade is a mutant with some of the looks of the Cybermen - but it is a much darker creation.
"Fans always want something new. Just wheeling out Cybermen again would be tame."
Doctor Who has fought a long and often exhausting battle against Cybermen during his career on the world's most enduring television science fiction show.
They first appeared in 1966 as a fictional race of cyborgs. They were an organic species of humanoids from the planet Mondas. They began to implant more artificial parts into their bodies.
The evolution of the programme's villains has been a feature of the programme, which was first broadcast in 1963. For example, the most famous baddie the Dalek was often mocked for its inability to climb stairs. But in recent episodes Daleks have been seen hovering and flying using an energy thruster. They have even found the ability to fly through space.
Stephen Moffat, the Doctor Who writer, has promised several new villains in the Christmas Special.
"We're not in the business of being nostalgic. We're making nostalgia for the future," he said.
