House Pests was a Doctor Who: Battles in Time comic story featuring the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones.
Opening narration box[[edit] | [edit source]]
The TARDIS has brought the Doctor and Martha to an eerie jungle world...
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor and Martha arrive in the jungle on Lumana. They are soon attacked by bat-like creature with sharp claws. The creatures fly away when the Loomish arrive and sound their horn. The Loomish are cute, little, child-like, friendly creatures which ask for the Doctor's help in protecting them from the Slaken (a big, big monster that lives in the caves and wants to eat them).
Saying goodbye to Lumea and the other Loomish, the Doctor and Martha head off with a map to find the Slaken, which is a big, green, fire breathing creature, but rather than wanting to eat the Loomish, it looks out for them and their bat friends. The mischievous Loomish are well known for conning visitors. When the Doctor and Martha return, they find the Loomish have moved into the TARDIS and decorated it out with floral garlands and cooking pots!
In the guidebook Tempus Fugit – The Time Travellers Companion, Martha reads up on the Loomish and learns of their incredibly strong family bonds. Martha sounds a Loomish horn that the Doctor collected in the jungle. The Loomish hear it as a distress signal and hurriedly leave the TARDIS to assist. The Doctor secures the TARDIS door and witnesses the Slaken's arrival, lovingly bringing food for the Loomish. Feeling hungry the Doctor and Martha return to the TARDIS, where the cooking pots are still warm!
