Rock Creature
The Rock Creatures (AUDIO: Planet of the Ogrons [+]Loading...["Planet of the Ogrons (audio story)"]) were large, orange, blobby creatures native to the Ogrons' home world. They preyed upon Ogrons, yet were worshipped fervently by them. The Ogrons were said to fear these "monsters" even more than they feared the Daleks. (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) According to one account, they were giant lizards that resembled the Tyrannosaurus rex. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Space War [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)"]) The Master remembered them as an "orange scrotum monster", as recorded in the Masterplan Journal.
