Thecauses ofregeneration, especially amongstTime Lords, were many and varied.
They ran the gamut from simple desire to change to sentencing for convictions, to life-threatening maladies, to blunt-force trauma. While all of these might have been cause for alarm inhumans, Time Lords sometimes expressed much less concern. As theTwelfth Doctor once toldClara, "Death [was]Time Lord forman-flu". (TV:Hell Bent)
The following are the known causes of regeneration of specific Time Lords or other regenerating individuals.
