Continuity

*This adventure is set between the television stories "The Time Warrior" and "Invasion of the Dinosaurs", however the events of the latter appear to follow directly on from those of the former making it difficult to place this adventure within established canon. The Doctor and Sarah discuss the events of "The Time Warrior" in the first episode, explicitly stating that this is only their second adventure together.

Naglon

Self-described as "barely humanoid", they are bipedal but have mauve faces that display extreme changes of color and motion in reaction to emotion or stress. The Doctor has had trouble with the species before. The single Naglon in "The Paradise of Death" is an extreme sadist who revels in causing pain and death as well as enjoying feeling those emotions in his victims.

In print
