* MythologyGag: The design for the Dalek Emperor in this story is closely based on the first ever Dalek Emperor design from the ''TV Century 21'' "The Daleks" comic strip.

* FeedItWithFire: Dalek attacks make the Hond horde stronger. This is because the Hond are manifestations of pain, so inflicting pain only reinvigorates them, even from death.

The Tenth Doctor suddenly and mysteriously finds himself and his TARDIS in a timeline where the Last Great Time War never occurred, and where the Daleks are desperate for him to help them against the Hond, an omnicidal species of abominations from Time Lord myth who intend to wipe out all life in the universe including themselves. Against his impulses, the Doctor teams up with the Daleks to defend the rest of the universe.

!This series includes the following tropes:

* AdmiringTheAbomination: The Doctor's first response on seeing the Hond horde is "Oh, but you are beautiful".
* AintTooProudToBeg: The Doctor forces the Dalek Emperor to ask him politely for help.
* AlternateTimeline: Created by something unexplained within the story.
* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: Done when the Prime Strategist shoots a security drone that was creeping up on the Doctor.
* BigDamnHeroes: The [[spoiler:Thirteenth Doctor]] turns up at the end to save Ten from the Daleks.
* ContinuityNod: The series begins with Ten saying "What?" three times, in a reference to the cliffhangers leading into his Christmas specials.
* TheCreon: The Prime Strategist tells the Doctor that it does not want to be Emperor.
* DeathCourse: The security systems of the Vault of Obscenities. Lampshaded by Ten:
--> ''Ooh, built a big old building chock full of important stuff. Better load it up with '''death traps'''!
* DeathSeeker: The Hond are seeking their own destruction as well as everyone else.
* EnemyMine: The whole concept of the series, with the Doctor forced to team up with the Daleks against something even worse.
* FeedItWithFire: Dalek attacks make the Hond horde stronger.
* FromASingleCell: The Hond in the Vault is reduced to a puddle by a Dalek blast, but then reconstitutes itself.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: The Daleks are truly scared of the Hond.
* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: The Doctor discovers that he has to go into an ancient weapons cache on Skaro that the Daleks themselves refer to as "the Vault of Obscenities".
* InevitableMutualBetrayal: What the Doctor knows is coming after he and the Daleks defeat the Hond.
* MercyKill: What the Doctor eventually does to the Hond, by [[spoiler:curing their pain and hence erasing their existence.]]
* MuckMonster: The Hond are made from primordial sludge.
* MythologyGag: The design for the Dalek Emperor in this story is closely based on the first ever Dalek Emperor design from the ''TV Century 21'' "The Daleks" comic strip.
* OmnicidalManiac: The Hond are determined to destroy all life in the universe.
* ScarsAreForever: The Prime Strategist claims that it keeps its damaged casing as a matter of pride, but it turns out to be a punishment from the Emperor.
* SequelHook: The Prime Strategist explains to the Emperor that although Ten has escaped, it has a new plan aimed at the Eighth Doctor.
* ShoutOut:
** The Doctor compares the Vault to the "[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom temple of doom]]". Naturally, cue death traps.
** The Hond look very like the iconic design for Clayface from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.
* ShutUpKirk: The Hond in the Vault responds to the Doctor making a lengthy speech offering to help it end or rise above its pain and depression by trying to kill him.
* TorturedMonster: The Hond are [[spoiler:conscious manifestations of all the pain in the universe.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The Hond believe that all life is suffering and want to destroy it.
