The Kchrusivour Gambit (comic story) was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.
Summary
The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams busy themselves rescuing survivors of an alien spacecraft that has crashed into a beach on 23rd century Earth. Feeling sorry for the poor little things, the Doctor leaves them in the hands of the emergency services and offers to pop by their homeland and let their nearest and dearest know that the survivors are OK. Reluctantly the aliens give their home world as Pirius Voon in the Grizellda Quadrant and the TARDIS with its crew leave. No sooner has the TARDIS left when the aliens disengage their perception filters and reveal themselves to be Kchrusivours – savage alien giants who begin to enslave the humans around them having claimed the Earth as their new home world. Having visited Prius Voon only to find it as a lifeless planet stripped of all its resources the Doctor begins to sense that he has been tricked. Returning to find the Earth surrounded by a force field, the TARDIS is only able to land by using the power generated by the jettison of the adventure playground. The Kchrusivours have been busy but overhearing them moaning about something in the air giving them a nasty rash the Doctor has an idea – and using some itching powder from his pocket the Doctor distracts the Kchrusivours long enough to use his sonic screwdriver on their perception filter devices trapping them in the form of the small and harmless looking Zonian forms until the authorities arrive to deal with them.. With the Earth saved and humanity rescued the Doctor decides to try and find another quiet beach to build sandcastles!
