| The TARDIS materialises in Nyasaland, and the Doctor, Sarah and Harry are found examining the dead body of a tribesman. The tribe’s shaman declares that the man was killed by a duba, or “Nandi Bear,” a mythical beast whose existence has never been verified. When Harry questions this diagnosis, the shaman declares that the strangers are evil sorcerers who summoned the Nandi Bear to kill Mposi. The chief gives the Doctor a chance to save himself by capturing the Nandi Bear, but privately admits that he does not believe in the creature’s existence himself; he believes that Mposi staggered out drunk on the eve of his daughter’s wedding, fell and injured himself, and was set upon by a known predator. However, he is unwilling to challenge the shaman’s authority, as the tribe would then blame him for any subsequent disasters to befall them
