The Agonoids are a sadistic, misanthropic race of cyborgs featured in the Red Dwarf novel Backwards. Three million years into the future, the main goal of the agonoids is to hunt down, torture and kill the last human in the galaxy, Dave Lister, aboard Red Dwarf. They are successful in killing some of the boys from the Dwarf, including Ace Rimmer, although Lister and the Cat are able to use Ace's ship to travel to an alternate dimension where Arnold Rimmer and Kryten are still alive.
