The Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver had a retractable casing that surrounded the primary emitter cluster. (PROSE: The Visual Dictionary ^[+]Andrew Darling, Kerrie Dougherty, David John and Simon Beecroft, Dorling Kindersley (2007). Pages 20-21; Edition: 2010 reprint.) This case resembled "claws", (TV: The Eleventh Hour ^[+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 5 (BBC One, 2010).) or, more poetically, "petals". (PROSE: Super Sonic ^[+]Paul Lang, Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024 (Penguin Group, 2023). Pages 36-37.)

Behind the scenes

• The claws haven't yet been identified in any valid source known to this wiki, only identified in the 2010 edition of The Visual Dictionary as the "retractable casing". However, to the production team of the 2023 specials of Doctor Who, these claws were referred to as the "Eleventh Doctor's flippy-out petals" as a seemingly official name.
  • A new sonic screwdriver designed for the Fourteenth Doctor had similar petals, as an homage to the Eleventh Doctor's screwdriver.
