Meglos


 * For the story of the same name, see Meglos.

Meglos was a xerophyte, the last survivor of the Zolfa-Thurans.

Profile
Meglos (or his species) had the technology to intercept a TARDIS in flight and trap it in a Time loop. It impersonated the Doctor in order to an energy source used by the Tigellans called the Dodecahedron which they used to power their city on Zolfa-Thura. Meglos succeeded in obtaining the Dodecahedron, however shortly after gaining access to it, Meglos and Zolfa-Thura were destroyed. (DW: Meglos)

Meglos was portrayed by Tom Baker in a dual role as the Doctor and Meglos.

Behind the scenes
