Kronos appears in this episode. In Greek mythology, he is one of the Titans, the father of Zeus. He is the god of time and one of the true all powerful beings in mythology. This is how he is portrayed when he first appears in The Time Monster. It is, to be perfectly honest, one of the most laughable creatures in Doctor Who. To take an extremely powerful being and reduce it to a man dressed as a budgerigar is a times frustrating and hilarious. But as if this were not hilarious enough, imagine seeing it flap about rooms trying to be menacing but failing horrifically. It's one of the great failures in terms of monsters in Doctor Who and also represents the moment when The Time Monster crosses the line and becomes a truly poor Doctor Who story.
