The Monster Vault (novel): Difference between revisions
(This case is directly analogous to The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story) being printed in The Secret Lives of Monsters (reference book). Deletion and inclusion debates not necessary, as most of the time reference book pages are often created without any editors reading them, and thus large errors can be made.) Tags: Undo Reverted |

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".
