Zarbi Mandible Weapon
A weapon clamped in a Zarbi's mandible, used as a tool of intimidation and control during the standoff in the control room. The Zarbi's grip on the weapon looms over the Doctor and Vicki, who are subjugated by mind-control collars. The Doctor's deception about Menoptra forces massing on Pictos is met with the Zarbi's unyielding armed stance, reinforcing their dominance. The weapon remains unused but serves as a constant threat, underscoring the Zarbi's hostile presence and the precarious situation of the captives.
