Biography

Meglos had some Gaztak mercenaries bring him an Earthling. The group was led by General Grugger and his aid, Brotadac. They helped Meglos take on the mans form. Meglos then trapped the Doctor and Romana in a time loop before taking on the former's appearance.

Disguised as the Doctor, Meglos had Grugger and his party take him to Tigella. He hoped to recover the Dodecahedron, a source of great power. Meglos shrank the Dodecahedron and then left. He returned to Zolfa-Thura where he began to activate it.

On Grugger's request, he planned to destroy Tigella with it. However, the Gaztaks turned against him and locked him up. He was forced out of his body and re-entered his cactus-like form. The Doctor had reverted the calculations for the Dodecahedron and so it destoryed Zolfa-Thura and Meglos. (DW: Meglos)

Behind the scenes

  • Meglos was intended to return in DW: The Lodger; An early script depicted him encountering the Doctor, with the Doctor not remembering who Meglos was due to the regeneration effects.
