When the Doctor first saw a group of Gundans he mistook them for suits of armour, standing motionless and covered in cobwebs. However, they were really armoured robots lying dormant but programmed to activate when anyone entered the great hall of the Gateway, which was a portal between the universe of E-Space and that of normal N-Space. The Gundans had been created by humanoids who had been enslaved by the lion-like Tharils. They were immune to the destructive properties of the time-lines and were able to invade the Tharil realm - leading to the enslavers themselves becoming the enslaved. The Doctor was able to evade a pair of Gundans when they accidentally disabled each other. He was then able to tap into their memory circuits to learn more about the Gateway. Their memory wafers were also compatible with K9's components, and he could use them to repair the computerised dog after it had been damaged by time-winds.
Played by: Robert Vowles. Appearances: Warriors' Gate (1981).
