Provenance

Where it came from

The Vashta Nerada card, numbered 967, belongs to the Doctor Who collectible card game set released by Panini. The set serves as a comprehensive visual archive of the long-running British science fiction series, highlighting both iconic protagonists and the varied menagerie of alien threats encountered by the Doctor across time and space.

The Vashta Nerada themselves originated in the 2008 episode 'Silence in the Library,' written by Steven Moffat. These microscopic, shadow-dwelling entities were designed to exploit the primal human fear of darkness, and their representation on this card utilizes stills from the production to evoke the atmospheric dread that defined their television debut. The design aims to capture the clinical yet terrifying nature of these entities as they consume organic matter.
