* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: Subverted in "The Hand of Fear", when the Kastrian Eldrad regenerates from a severed hand into a glittering, androgynous female alien with a queenly bearing and claims of god-level scientific achievements, leading the audience (and even the Doctor) to read her as this sort of character. After the Doctor goes out of his way to take her in the TARDIS back to her own planet, we find out that he merely took on a tough feminine form because his regeneration was modelled after Sarah Jane, the first human he saw - when he is injured and regenerates into the male body which is apparently normal for Kastrians, he becomes [[WomenAreWiser a dull, thuggish, hollering idiot that the Doctor easily outwits]]. Sarah even tells the Doctor, "I quite liked her, but I couldn't stand him."
