Monk's Sunglasses/Dark Goggles

A pair of dark sunglasses/goggles used by the Monk for both dramatic effect and practical protection. Worn briefly to shield his eyes from sunlight (e.g., in The Daleks' Master Plan Part 9) and later as protective gear during covert sabotage (e.g., firing a pencil laser at the TARDIS lock on Tigus's volcanic surface in Part 8). The accessory emphasizes his character's deceptive edge and serves functional purposes in high-stakes situations, transitioning between dramatic and utilitarian roles.
