** Introduced in ''The Impossible Planet'', the Beast was notably voiced by [[Gabriel Woolf]], who had previously voiced Sutekh. The Beast was noted to have been known by numerous names including Satan, which was also true of Sutekh. In addition, the nature of the Beast as being the supposed origin of the [[devil]] across all [[religion]]s echoed the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s claim that Sutekh's name was "abominated in every civilised world". Despite these similarities, however, no source has explicitly identified Sutekh and the Beast as being one and the same being. Though the Tenth Doctor does make reference to a pantheon of supposed gods in ''The Satan Pit'', it preceeded the establishment of the Pantheon of Discord. | |||
