The Monster Vault is a collection of information about the monsters of Doctor Who included within the overall The Monster Vault book. Much like "The Dangerous Book of Monsters", the book has a loose narrative of being an in-universe text complied by the Doctor. In this case, the book is noted by the Thirteenth Doctor to be complied by "some of the galaxy's finest natural historians" after she granted them access to the "top-secret Monster Vaults" of her TARDIS's databanks. She also notes these historians have "filled in some of the gaps" in her research, which the Doctor declares has resulted in some "ideas" that are "clever" and others that are "daft".

Notes[]

  • In the section on the Boneless, the book warns that the Boneless may attempt another invasion of Earth and would begin as such by hiding on a flat surface, "such as the page of a book". As such, the book warns its viewers to flip the page fast.
  • In the section on the Weeping Angels, the book warns that "that which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel" and thus warns its viewers to turn the page.
  • The historians admit they know little about the Kantrofarri. After recounting how the beings feed, the text declares it's possible "the person who gave this account" may have simply watched a nature documentary.
