2 appearances

Purpose

Provide improvised cover and concealment for Vogan fighters during armed confrontations in the cavernous tunnels beneath Voga.

Significance

These stalagmites become the fulcrum of the temporary alliance between Tyram and Vorus, forcing both factions to pause their conflict when the Cybermen’s attack reveals a far greater threat. Their structural fragility mirrors the unstable truce, highlighting how even the terrain conspires against unity.
