Goats

A small herd of goats grazes in the field where the Doctor halts the vehicle. Their presence creates a natural screen of movement and distraction, which the Doctor exploits for cover. They scatter briefly at the Doctor's sudden stop but quickly resume their grazing, indifferent to the human urgency unfolding around them.

Before: Grazing peacefully in the goat field, part of the rural scenery.

After: Still grazing but now bearing the tracker device, its natural behavior falsely guiding Gavrok’s forces away from the true hiding place.
