Cliff Face Hazard Rock (The Mind Robber)

A large, jagged rock formation embedded in the cliff face behind the Doctor and Zoe during their standoff with Karkus. It is struck and destroyed by an external force (likely Karkus), creating debris and forcing the characters to take cover. Serves as a narrative catalyst for physical peril, not a scientific object. Distinct from portable specimens; this is a fixed environmental element integral to the cliff’s structure.
