Sabre-Toothed Gorilla

Sabre-toothed gorillas, (COMIC: The Sabre-Toothed Gorillas) also capitalised as the Sabre-Toothed Gorillas, (PROSE: A letter from the Master) were a species of aggressive primate native to an unnamed planet, which the Second Doctor once compared to Canada.

The Doctor, John and Gillian encountered a tribe of sabre-toothed gorillas, but were rescued by a professor, who had developed a substance he called squidge. The group used weapons made of squidge to hold off the gorillas until they could make their way back to the TARDIS. (COMIC: The Sabre-Toothed Gorillas)

later mentioned in an introduction to Doctor Who Magazine that he once did a bit of "charity work" for a group of jobless Earth colonists, where he gave work placements to the colonists in the Sabre-Toothed Gorilla House of the Galactic Zoo, as a part of "humanitarian aid"; however, his definition of humanitarian aid involved the Sabre-Toothed Gorillas eating the colonists, which the Master decided not to speak often of in case he brought on the negative attention of the Time Lords.

Sabre-toothed gorillas were one of the creatures the Tenth Doctor warned Martha Jones about that could be outside the TARDIS doors when they arrived on Myarr. (TV: The Infinite Quest)
