A design-a-monster competition was held on ''Blue Peter'' in 1967. Among some 250,000 entries, three winners were selected: the [[Hypnotron]] (by Paul Worrall), the [[Steel Octopus]] (by Karen Dag), the [[Aquamen|Aqua Man]] (by Stephen Thompson). While they did not appear on ''Doctor Who'', prop versions of the three monsters were constructed. Contrary to rumour, the [[Kroton (species)|Krotons]] did ''not'' originate in this competition.
