* [[Devil but No God]]: Averted. The Doctor isn't convinced he's literally Satan. But he is ''scary''. And in any case, there's a ''reason'' he's been imprisoned in a pit for all eternity, and the Beast himself references God and the Disciples of The Light.
* [[Devil Is a Loser]]: Somewhat. {{spoiler|When The Doctor confronts The Beast in its prison, he finds a giant towering red horned monstrosity that roars at him and shoots fire. He realizes this Beast is just that...a simple beast, with its spirit and sentience gone elsewhere. The physical body of the Beast suddenly becomes a lot less scary. There's also the fact the Doctor went through sending The Beast into the black hole despite minimal chance of survival.}}
* [[Doing inIn the Wizard]]: An explicit subversion of the series' tendencies to offer a (quasi-)scientific explanation for various supernatural or mythological phenomena. While the Doctor clearly doesn't believe that the Beast is the actual Devil of mythology or it's claims, he gets quite cagey when pressed on what he thinks it actually ''was'' and can't dismiss it with a scientific explanation as easily as he normally would.
* [[Dug Too Deep]]
* [[Dying Alone]]: Ida asks the Doctor to come back up from the Pit because she doesn't want to do this.
