Purple Disguise Furs

A jagged strip of coarse, matted purple synthetic fur torn from a native Spiridon's hide, repurposed as a Dalek disguise. The fibers bristle with trapped cave moisture, carrying the sharp ammonia tang of Spiridon biology when disturbed. Its bristling nap creates shifting shadow patterns under Dalek light, disrupting human form through irregular texture and color patterning. The Doctor drapes it over a Dalek's casing to impair its sensors, using the fur's uneven clumps to conceal its mechanical silhouette against the control room's metallic surfaces.
