Doctor's Feint Cape

A hastily assembled prop constructed as a decoy target for the Nimon's aggression, cobbled together in desperation. Worn by the Doctor to bait the creature into revealing its position, the cape flaps dramatically during the taunt—its motion exaggerated for maximum visibility. The Nimon's directed energy weapon strikes it squarely, vaporizing the dummy with clinical precision, rendering the ploy useless. The cape's purpose is entirely situational, serving as a flawed but necessary gambit in a failing plan.
