Actually they're just giant crabs that are terrorizing and killings people. Unfortunately there are only a few minutes of footage that still exist of The Macra Terror. A new title sequence debuts with this story and we see the face of the Doctor for the first time in the credits. And despite it not existing, I feel that his face in the title now cements Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor.
Jump ahead over 40 years to the 10th Doctor episode "Gridlock" and there at the bottom of the freeway, hidden under exhaust fumes and cars, there returned even bigger Macra! The moment when the Doctor sees what's down there and utters there name, the fanboy in me yelped at the return of these classic monsters.
