The Doctor and Sharon materialise on a Space Trucker's truck, just in time for it to be attacked by a horde of vicious, and highly infectious, werewolves. But the power behind the Werelox is something much worse... the Daleks!
Tropes
- And Then John Was a Zombie: One cliffhanger is the Doctor turning into a Werelok.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: K9 was written out of "Destiny of the Daleks" and never got to face one on-screen. (Legend has it that Terry Nation disliked him and wrote him out, but the more prosaic truth is that the K9 prop couldn't handle the BBC Quarry that serial was shot in.) Here, he finally gets to take on a Dalek... and it's a one-hit kill for the robot dog.
- Heel–Face Brainwashing: Hypnotising Werelok leader Brill into providing them information has the secondary effect of making him change sides.
- The Man Behind the Man: The Werelox invasion is a precursor to Dalek invasion.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: The Werelox are genetically engineered by the Daleks into doing their dirty work during the New Earth invasion.
- Was Once a Man: The Werelox are humans mutated into wolf-men via venom.
