They became less and less threatening with each appearance.

It’s possible the programme overused the Snarling Lions.

The nervous mewling of the Snarling Lion cubs in ‘The Lions Capture Beverly Hills’
was so unsettling, since real lion cubs rarely vocalise and when they do, it doesn’t sound like a female moggie in heat.
Snarling Lions can’t be killed in any way,
meaning that if one were to break a Snarling Lion, it would become two such monsters when someone looked at the pieces.
Remember that the image of a Snarling Lion is just an image and can’t come to life to convert you.
My children still can’t even look at a lion statue,
because they’re afraid it will come to life and turn them into Snarling Lions. The wife and I play along, just because.
For all the horror plots that the programme has ever had,
it’s interesting to note how few of the monsters were truly scary, even to children.
Makes one wonder what the Snarling Lions would do
if they were left alone in the dark, without anyone able to see them.
If the Snarling Lions were created by the Section,
why were they trying to kill the Inspector the first time we saw them on screen?
