What is "kroton"

Kroton, now Crotone, Italy, was an Achaean colony from on the coast of the Gulf of Taranto.

Kroton may also refer to:

• The Krotons, a serial in the science fiction television series Doctor Who
• Kroton (Cyberman), character in the comic strips based on Doctor Who
• Kroton Educacional, a Brazilian private educational company

Kroton is a fictional character who appeared in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. He was a companion of the Eighth Doctor. He should not be confused with the Krotons, the villains of the 1968 serial The Krotons.

Kroton is a Cyberman, a member of the cybernetically augmented race that is one of the most persistent enemies of the Doctor. However, unlike other Cybermen, Kroton still retains human feelings despite undergoing cyber-conversion. Kroton first appeared in the comic strip Throwback — The Soul of a Cyberman, published in Doctor Who Weekly #5-#7 (as it then was), written by Steve Moore and drawn by Steve Dillon.
