The [[Silurian]]s first encountered by the [[Third Doctor]] had '''three eyes''', providing them with a triple-faceted form of [[vision]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) According to one source, it was these [[Early Silurian]]s ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Monster Vault (novel)}}) of the "[[scholar]] [[caste]]" who possessed a third [[eye]] embedded into their [[forehead]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Lost Dimension (comic story)}}) Other accounts suggested that the "third eyes" were bionic implants, referred to as "Silurian Paralysers". | The [[Silurian]]s first encountered by the [[Third Doctor]] had '''three eyes''', providing them with a triple-faceted form of [[vision]].

The third eye also allowed them to use a variety of [[telepathy|telepathic]] powers. The Silurians used their third eyes to [[communication|communicate]] with other Silurians in a process known as "linking". The third eye would glow along with their [[emotion]]s, becoming brighter when they were [[anger|angry]]. They could sense the presence of other Silurians, even at great distances. Silurians could control the [[mind]]s of other creatures. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood Heat (novel)}}) They could [[Hypnosis|hypnotise]] and coerce [[human]]s through a link to a primal part of a subject's mind, though stronger wills could resist this control. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Bloodtide (audio story)}}) However, even Silurians without the third eye could demonstrate this ability: [[Vastra]] told [[Jenny Flint]] that her species could exert a mesmeric influence over humans.
