Behind the scenes
- The claws haven't yet been identified in any valid source known to this Wiki, only identified in the 2010 edition of The Visual Dictionary as the "retractable casing"; however, to the production team of the 2023 specials of Doctor Who, these claws were referred to as the "Eleventh Doctor's flippy-out petals" as a seemingly official name.[1]
- A new sonic screwdriver designed for the Fourteenth Doctor had similar petals, as an homage to the Eleventh Doctor's screwdriver.
