Dalek (Mark Three Prototype)

obedient mechanical menacing efficient ruthless

Dalek (Mark Three Prototype) functions as Davros's initial operational war machine in Skaro's Kaled bunker. This armored unit encases a Kaled mutant, granting independent mobility, voice responsiveness, and accurate targeting. It pursues the Doctor for extermination, executes kill protocols with ruthless precision until interrupted, and broadcasts Davros's retreat command amid the Thal assault. It patrols trenches, enforces bunker security, assumes full military duties, and affirms orders to hunt prisoners and eliminate traitors. Absolute obedience to Davros propels its role in evolving Kaled forces toward universal genocide.
