Jata was an Osumaran who was a companion of the Twelfth Doctor. The Doctor rescued Jata from being stranded on Earth and they had several adventures together on the voyage back to Jata's homeplanet Osumare.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Stuck on Earth[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the 19th century, Jata left Osumare in an alnitak class Q7 starship.
In 1899, Jata crashed onto Earth in Wyoming and was found by Clint Currie. Deciding to "make the best of [the] barbaric world", Jata helped Currie commit crimes. Jata became the mastermind behind a number of big-time hold-ups and robberies. Because the black star on Jata's forehead was unique on Earth, Jata was put on wanted posters that identified Jata as Currie's horse.
Three months after Jata came to Earth, the Twelfth Doctor found his crashed spaceship. He came to a town that Currie's gang were committing a robbery in. While Currie's gang were robbing a train, the Doctor came to the tree which Jata was tied to. Jata willingly came with the Doctor and the Doctor left a regular white horse with a black star painted on its forehead in Jata's place. Without the Osumaran to guide him, Currie was caught and arrested by the town's sheriff.
The Doctor then offered to take Jata back to Osumare. (COMIC: From the Horse's Mouth [+]Loading...["From the Horse's Mouth (comic story)"])
Travelling with the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]
Along the way to Osumare, the Doctor and Jata had several detours. (COMIC: Fear Buds [+]Loading...["Fear Buds (comic story)"], et al.)
After Jata expressed an interest in educational systems, the Doctor took him to a school in early 21st century England. After they discovered that all of the students had become violent mindless zombies, Jata allowed the Doctor to ride him to safety. Jata and the Doctor realised that Ralph, the only student to escape the "zombie" students, was actually a Mkali who was responsible for the goings-on at the school. The Doctor phoned Ralph's mum and got her to fix all the damage Ralph had done. Jata let the back-to-normal students pet and groom him. (COMIC: Fear Buds [+]Loading...["Fear Buds (comic story)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
All of the stories to feature Jata were written by Andrew Cartmel. During Jata's time as a regular companion in the Doctor Who Adventures comic, the magazine saw major changes. Because the magazine became published bi-monthly, stories written for late 2016 were pushed back to 2017. Jata became the first companion original to DWA to be in a comic published while another companion (Bill Potts) was with the Doctor on television.
The star shaped marking on Jata's head is in a position that, in earth horses, is commonly referred to as a "star", regardless of its actual shape.
