So what mythical monster hasn't the Doctor encountered over the years? (I guess I mean ones we're familiar with nowadays like the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster. There are probably a billion that no one's ever heard of.)

*sighs* I'm still trying to come up with a plot for a fic I've been trying to write. A sequel to my "Signing Up" fic. I feel like I need slightly more than "and they landed on a planet and spent the next 5 hours romping in a field of flowers with a pink unicorn named George. The End."

Ummm.. the Beast of Bodmin Moor.. which could turn out to be, a, um.. Alien Panther type thing that eats babies for their yummy goodness?

I really dunno. Imagine what it must be like for the people who actually have to think up these plots!!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I'm not really familiar with the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Sounds Irish!

Well I can't say for certain, as I've only seen a few episodes of old Who, but being a bit of a mythology buff, more exciting mythological creatures, that I don't think have been shown are: A Griffin, a Phoenix, and there's always Cerberus, the three headed dog that guards hell!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Cerberus could be interesting. Especially considering that they've already encountered Satan.

Ummm, The Jersey Devil? I imagine the Doctor doesn't spend too much time in New Jersey.

[rattus-aerius.livejournal.com]

I second this. Jersey Devil stories are good stuff. XD

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You know, I've heard the name "Jersey Devil" but am not really familiar with any stories. And I probably only have heard of it because of the X-Files. They did a Jersey Devil episode once, didn't they? (Not that I really remember what it was about.)

I'm not familiar with old Who, so I don't know if he's encountered anything like these, but: dragons, gryphons, wyverns, floating eyeballs, shapeshifters (other than werewolves)? Or, well, you could make George the unicorn evil or targeted by an evil witch or something.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Dragons: check

Gryphons: doesn't sound familiar

Floating Eyeballs: Well, he did get beat on by some balls. (Which is just as dirty as it sounds.)

Shapeshifters: He had a companion who was a shapeshifter. More than one, actually.

OOOOH. EVIL UNICORN! WITH A GOATEE!

I feel like I need slightly more than "and they landed on a planet and spent the next 5 hours romping in a field of flowers with a pink unicorn named George. The End."

And yet, I'd totally read that. :P

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

:D

[professor_mirror]

Anyone who doesn't believe that unicorns are EVIL needs to watch this:

Charlie the Unicorn.

Alternately, you could have The Doctor face down this monster.

CHAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRLIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I WANT TO READ THE UNICORN FIC NOW, PLZ.

Also, you're pretty safe with 99% of myths with their basis outside of Britain. ALIENS NEVER ATTACK OTHER COUNTRIES.

Doctor and Rose: [skip through the flowers]

Doctor: Ooh, here's something you don't see every day! A unicorn! A *pink* unicorn!

Rose: Awww! It looks lonely. It needs a friend! [starts to wander off]

Doctor: [has become wise to her wandering-off ways, employing hand-holding, and gets pulled along]

Rose: Hello there. [pets softly] My name's Rose. Aren't you pretty?

George: Um, do you mind, lady?

Rose: [JUMPS]

George: You have many people wander up to you and start rubbing your nose? RUDE.


Also, you're pretty safe with 99% of myths with their basis outside of Britain. ALIENS NEVER ATTACK OTHER COUNTRIES.

And that's why I'm hesitant to do a story set in another country. Either it should be in the UK or on another planet, right? Otherwise it's just too weird!

Chupacabra... the Jersey Devil... Sasquatch/Bigfoot (as opposed to the Yeti)... sewer alligators... Baba Yaga... Chimera... Cluricaun... Gancanagh... Kelpie... Kitsune...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I've heard of a couple of these. :D

Something in the sewer. Hmmm. Things underground are always creepy. *ponders*

[hwconundrum.livejournal.com]

DROPBEARS! Probably. I only assume as much because I suspect the Doctor has never touched down in Australia, where the fearsome dropbear lurks.

On a slightly more serious note, chupucabras? I think it's a bit of a Mexican thing but if I've heard of them, very vaguely, then others may have to.

Failing that, evil gnomes: http://io9.com/5068850/real-life-gnomes-or-back+door-alien-infestation-in-argentina

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Dropbears? I've never heard of those! But it has "bear" in the word, and so that's a bonus! :D

I know of the Chupucabra, but not sure if I want to so something in Mexico.

BWAH!!!

[editrx.livejournal.com]

Cornish pixies.

Who I personally believe are TRULY EVIL.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HEH!! Although didn't Torchwood do an episode of that? Is that the same thing as whatever they did?

[gowdie.livejournal.com]

The Ogopogo!! It's a lake monster from British Columbia.

And I realize it breaks your outside of the UK rule - but with a name like Ogopogo, how could you not. I double dog dare you to imagine Ten or TenII saying it, and then resist the temptation!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh man, he'd be saying it NONSTOP FOR WEEKS. :D

[woodface]

Jackalope and dropbears?

... Someone beat me to the drop bears.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

A jackalope! :D Although they're not exactly fearsome from what I remember.

Townsperson: AHHHHHHHH! JACKALOPES!!

Rose: And they're what exactly?

Doctor: A bunny with antlers.

Townsperson: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

Rose: Aww, it's so cute!

Doctor: Careful, Rose. It might... Well, I'm not quite sure what it might do. Mind the antlers, but other than that it could...wriggle its nose at you. Severely.

[tsukara.livejournal.com]

Has he run into Bigfoot? I mean, Bigfoot is kind of a big freakin' deal here in the PacNW...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. The Doctor's really not been outside the UK very much. :D

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

evil fandom? crazy fanboys? psycho fans? obsessive stalkers?

Oh, they did that, kind of. Moving on...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. Yeah, they did. I still kind of wonder where Rose was when the Doctor ran into kid Elton. Shopping trip with Jackie and the Doctor decided to flee, having an adventure on his own?

[maypanic.livejournal.com]

I vote phoenix. I have long suspected they were actually some sort of Time Lord pet, or genetic experimentation gone horribly wrong. What with the whole death then rebirth in flame thing.

Totally not because they also happen to be the symbol for my city. Atlanta was, of course, also destroyed and reborn in flame.

Oh! Or, not exactly legendary, but what about the Snark? As in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the..."

[maypanic.livejournal.com]

If it would help find inspiration, I have somewhere an mp3 recorded I off the radio of DT reading a portion of "The Hunting of the Snark," in full Scottish accent.

[outforawalk.livejournal.com]

I love your icon so much. Hee!


Also, I would totally read and love the pink unicorn named George. I hope you can work him into this plotty fic you are plotting. :D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

And maybe there will have to be a reference. :D
