Name – Manussans
The Manussans' once great technology enabled them to produce the Great Crystal, which amplified the evil inside their minds and created the Mara. The Mara became the driving force behind the Sumaran Empire. Three hundred years later, thanks to the Snakedancers and Lon's ancestor, the Manussans banished the Mara into a dark dimension. Five hundred years after that, Tegan returned it to Manussa. It possessed Lon, and planned to recreate itself with the Great Crystal during a ceremony celebrating its original exile. But it was eventually destroyed by the Doctor, who had learned the Snakedancing rituals from Dojjen. The Doctor seized the Crystal and broke the Mara's spell on Manussa.
