Sucker Marks on Fake Kroll

Raised, circular imprints visible on the hollow false head of the fabricated Kroll imposter. The Doctor identifies these marks as evidence of artificial aging, revealing the impostor as a recent fabrication rather than an ancient sacred artifact. The marks show where the latex or synthetic skin was stretched and manipulated around a smaller supporting structure.

Before: Concealed beneath ceremonial grime and ritual paint on the inner lining of the prosthetic head.
After: Exposed and examined in the cavern’s flickering torchlight, their presence confirmed as purposeful deception rather than natural texture.
