I know, it doesn't really fit the Minecraft theme, but it suddenly hit me while watching a fan video that it would be amusing if occasionally (not constantly) a Dalek would show up in MC to menace you.
The Dalek would be under 2 blocks tall.
For balance, the beam from its weapon would have to travel no faster than an arrow plus the Dalek itself would need to be slow and also would have to say "Exterminate" before firing, to give you a chance of dodging or finding cover. The weapon would do no damage to anything but mobs. It would be a beam lasting half a second and damage would be 1 hit point (half a heart) for each quarter-second of exposure to the beam (so maximum of one full heart for each beam hit).
The Dalek would also turn and move slowly, so you could run around behind it and continually attack while keeping clear of its weapon. Unlike other hostile mobs (but like passive mobs), contact with the Dalek would not cause you any damage. Moving on anything but flat ground would also slow the Dalek down more. Perception distance would be the same as a skeleton. For the purposes of taking damage, the Dalek would be treated as though wearing iron armor but would have a little less health than a skeleton (I'd guess 1 heart less would be about right).
In the day time, the Dalek would just stand still, intoning "vision impaired, I cannot see". You would need to come very close (4-8 blocks for example) in daylight before it could see you and try to attack.
A Dalek would only appear very rarely. Say, once in every 40 nights on average. Perhaps even longer odds... or even only if the game is played on a certain day (Terry Nation's birthday for example).
Okay, so this suggestion is more of a joke than a serious suggestion, but I wouldn't mind if it was added (so long as the %^&* broken baby zombie mechanic is fixed first! I'm sick of them exterminating my villagers!)
Let me introduce a small rule of suggesting. Never suggest any copyrighted material.
This should be an obvious and primary rule. Mojang can't throw whatever they desire into the game, adding Daleks would put Mojang into jeopardy, for using copyrighted material.

I'm sure you're right, but if it could be done legally, it would be fun.
Anyways, copyright material, no way it would happen.

"Ugh"? Bad, is that really how you feel about Doctor Who? :c
But anyways, no support. Pretty much the same reason in the post above: copyrighted material. Mojang has had enough trouble with Scrolls and Putt-Putt.
Although I wish this could happen, for a number of reasons this should ONLY EVER EVER EVER be in a mod. I'm too lazy to write them out; anyone could figure out why this shouldn't be in core Minecraft.

Holy Super Mega Death Jesus this would be an awesome mod... but only a mod. This should never, under any circumstance, even if they could get the rights to, be placed in Minecraft. Just no.

Oh hey. Looks like you're reading my signature. That's nice. If you thought I was going to put something funny here, I'm not. I will however put a link to my suggestion about gold tools. I think it's fairly popular. It would be nice if it was added. Just click the link and look at it. Please? I'm desperate. http://www.minecraft...-arent-useless/
