Object
Carnivorous Magna Peloris Clam
The cave tunnels teem with bulbous mollusks embedded in crevices, their gaping apertures lined with jagged, mucus-slick chitin plates. A wet sucking motion accompanies their ambush as they extend from limestone cracks to snare passing limbs. The creature’s thick mantles pulse with peristaltic force, dragging victims inward with vise-like clamping strength before the Doctor’s improvised stalactite fractures their grip. Dark crimson stains glisten along the inner frilled ridges where the creatures’ needle-like barbs have drawn blood.

Significance
These clams represent a secondary existential threat, forcing the Doctor, Harry, and Sarah to navigate complex terrain with urgent precision as they flee escalating Dalek-Kaled hostilities. Their hazard directly complicates the trio’s escape through the ventilation duct.
