''to | * DrashigWorld is a planetoid or drawf planet, one of the 700 Wonders of the Galactic Hub. It is divided into four quadrants separated by energy barriers, with telepads for transportation. | ||
* The TARDIS arrives in the wetland. | |||
* There are dozens of drashigs on the planet, and they are fed on goats. | |||
* Vanessa designed a catalytic fusion reactor that powers the park. | |||
* Drashigs tend to hunt in packs and separate their prey from each other, one distracting while another kills. | |||
* Emerald Drashigs are the smallest and deadliest, more vicious than any predator in the known universe. They travel in packs of five, with the alpha having a white marking. | |||
* Wayland claims Braye paid the family of the victim 1000 credits not to talk. | |||
* The door to Vanessa's lab is double-plated romalian alloy, the only metal Drashigs can't bite through. | |||
* Vanessa's project involved a remote electroencephalograph and a neural oscillation detector, which allows the user to connect to the drashig's neural oscillations, their higher and lower beta waves. The user can then experience the co-ordination and thrill of the drashigs hunting. | |||
* Vanessa can hear their thoughts (they are always hungry and always want to kill) and they in turn learn how to use a telepad from her. Through this connection, she lets the emeralds escape but doesn't remember doing so. | |||
* Drashigs are non-sentient, the Doctor explaining that they don't have a conscious or imagination. | |||
* At 2 percent capacity, K9 can still talk but very slowly. | |||
* K9 assimilates the 3D map schematic of the park. | |||
* Trencher uses a grenade to kill an alpha emerald, and the others mourn it. | |||
* Trencher had a dog once, but a Manussian ligrid tore her to pieces. | |||
* A single emerald wiped out a group of soldiers in the jungles of Hydroxus 3. | |||
* The Doctor uses Vanessa's project to connect with every drashig on the planet, making every drashig hear the thoughts of every other, temporarily driving them insane. | |||
* The Doctor and Ann take Wayland and Trencher in the TARDIS, leaving the planet to the drashigs. | |||

'' | * This story marks the Drashigs' first appearance in an audio, and is reminiscent of ''Jurassic Park''. | ||
* While the Doctor's use of air vents to escape is a running joke, in this story characters use "atmospheric distribution tunnels." | |||

''to | * The Doctor previously encountered Drashigs and ignited gas to defend himself. ([[TV]]: [[Carnival of Monsters (TV story)|''Carnival of Monsters'']]) | ||
* The Doctor finishes building K9 Mk II. ([[TV]]: [[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|''The Invasion of Time'']], [[AUDIO]]: [[The Sinestran Kill (audio story)|''The Sinestran Kill'']]) | |||
* The Doctor quotes to beware "[[Trojan Horse|greeks baring gifts]]," and says "I warned [[Spartan|them]] but they wouldn't listen." ([[TV]]: [[The Myth Makers (TV story)|''The Myth Makers'']]) | |||
* Vanessa becomes connected with the drashigs. Interestingly enough, the drashigs evolved from [[Posthuman|posthumans]]. ([[PROSE]]: [[Daring Initiation (short story)|''Daring Initiation'']]) | |||
