Sontaran Hunting Trap
A jagged, metallic contraption of Sontaran engineering hums with lethal purpose, its segmented limbs skittering over unstable ground before locking onto Zake’s fleeing form. The machine’s bulbous sensor cluster whirs as it locks onto movement, while jagged appendages quiver with anticipation for the kill. Its angular design contrasts with the Doctor’s scientific focus—a soldier’s tool repurposed for extermination. The trap doesn’t just pursue; it herds, forcing Zake toward the cliff’s edge in a grotesque parody of the hunt.
