The Magnedon encountered by the Doctor and his companions on the planet Skaro was long dead. The creatures were quadrupeds, their bodies composed of overlapping metal plates. The Doctor surmised that these were held in place by an inner magnetic field, and that Magnedons probably drew their prey towards them by magnetism, if they were also metal in nature. Dead Magnedons maintained their magnetic energy and the Thals discovered that they could harness this to power some of their equipment such as lamps and heating units.
Appearances: The Daleks (1963/4).
- Producer Verity Lambert kept the Magnedon prop in her office.
