Corrupted Arboretum Gulch

Decayed Necros Exploitation Grove

The skeletal remains of a Necros purge forest cling to life amidst Davros’s horticultural experiments. This includes both the aboveground bioengineered forest area and the specific ground area where violent confrontations occur. The grove’s ancient trees stand as gnarled sentinels against blackened bark from acidic taint of hybrid experiments, their branches twisting into grotesque shapes. Thick underbrush of cultivated foliage chokes the forest floor, releasing oppressive vegetal stench mixed with coppery tang of spilled blood. The ground here is patchy with unmelted snow, featuring crystalline edges grating against rough metal debris from struggles. Engineered plants shunt nutrients unnaturally in the underbrush while the forest canopy encloses conflicts happening below. This environment comprises a living system that both hides experiments and serves as arenas where deformed men attack the Doctor and Peri. The tree that serves as attack fulcrum shows heartwood hollowed by parasitic grafts, its leaves curled inward from horror witnessed. During Konrad’s attack, the snow-patched ground yields underfoot, with metal scrap kicking up slush as the Doctor and Peri struggle against their attackers. The conflict occurs amid this horticultural nightmare that is both natural forest remnant and artificial horror garden.

S22E12 · Revelation of the Daleks Part 1
Doctor and Peri examine deadly plant

The bioengineered foliage of Necros serves as both deception and ambush site, with plants designed to look Earthly while concealing their true, predatory function. The shrubs and underbrush provide camouflage for unseen dangers, transforming from botanical calm to violent confrontation in moments. The air carries the metallic tang of toxicity mingled with organic decay, reflecting the perversion of natural growth processes.

Atmosphere

Deceptively calm with undercurrents of menacing tension and unnatural stillness

Functional Role

Battleground for sudden physical confrontation and hiding place for immediate threat

Symbolic Significance

Represents the corruption of nature and the perversion of biological processes by Davros's experiments

Bioengineered plants mimicking familiar Earth species with unnatural sheen and thicker stems Air carrying metallic tang of toxic cultivation mixed with organic decay
S22E12 · Revelation of the Daleks Part 1
Doctor and Peri fight Dalek hybrid attacker

The Necros ground beneath them is uneven and treacherous, strewn with metal debris that bites into boots and slows movement. During the struggle, snow melts underfoot, making the surface slippery and treacherous—every kick of snow and scuffle embeds more debris, grounding the Doctor and enabling the hybrid’s throttling advantage.

Atmosphere

Slippery and unstable, with a barren mechanical cold seeping through the thin snow layer—a surface that cannot be trusted to support endurance.

Functional Role

Slippery and obstructive ground contributing to physical hindrance

Symbolic Significance

Represents the moral and physical instability underfoot in a world where trust is misplaced.

Access Restrictions

None, but survival is impaired by cold and surface conditions.

Crystalline snow concealing metal debris beneath Surface yields underfoot, betraying every struggle
