Mentalis was built by [[Drax]] at the behest of [[the Shadow]] to direct the war between [[Atrios]] and [[Zeos]]. According to the Doctor, Mentalis was responsible for attack, defence and surveillance of the war, and he called it highly efficient despite being passionless. It was discovered by the [[Fourth Doctor]] while on Zeos with [[Shapp]], [[Merak]], [[Romana I]] and [[K9 Mark II|K9]]. K9 communicated with it and considered it an interesting conversation. It refused to answer any inquiries about [[Astra of Atrios|Astra]], nor would it allow them access to its databanks. With the war over, it decided it would destroy everything and everyone on both sides. | Mentalis was built by the [[Second Drax]] at the behest of [[the Shadow]] to direct the war between [[Atrios]] and [[Zeos]].

Mentalis was fitted with a self-destruct mechanism if it felt threatened. This was activated when it sensed the [[Marshal of Atrios]] homing in to attack. The Doctor tried to disable it. It became confused and, to prevent this self-destruct, used its own defence weapons against its command centre to destroy itself. | Mentalis was fitted with a self-destruct mechanism if it felt threatened.
