The Silurians are scary. They're technologically advanced dinosaurs (not an oxymoron), who went into hibernation to escape mass extinction, but forgot to set their alarm clock properly. Now the Earth in inhabited with all these annoying mammals, and it's just not fair!
First time we encountered them (Jon Pertwee's second adventure), they introduced a virus that rapidly started spreading through the country and killing people. The Doctor arranged a peace treaty, but The Brig blew them all up instead, which soured their relationship. Now they're just as pissed off as before, but no longer covered by enormously clumsy rubber suits.
The Sea Devils was another Silurians one (sort of, it featured the Silurians aquatic cousins), where Doctor #3 again tries to negotiate for peace, only for Roger Delgadro as The Master to stick a major spanner in the works. I haven't seen Peter Davison's encounter with them, but that's all the love that the Silurians have had so far.
