Deathworm Morphants were symbiotic creatures used to survive beyond death. (AUDIO: Mastermind)

History

One account stated that Deathworms were created by the Morgs. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) However, another account noted that they were indigenous to the planet Skaro. (COMIC: The Fallen)

The Master used a Deathworm Morphant to survive his execution by the Daleks. He managed to interfere with the Doctor's TARDIS to send it to 30 December 1999. In this form, the Master slithered out of the TARDIS through its keyhole and across the pavement. Later that night, the Master infiltrated the house of an American paramedic and slithered down his throat while he was asleep, killing the paramedic while gaining his second non-regenerative incarnation. (TV: Doctor Who)

Using a sample of the substance the Master had spat at her, cardiologist Grace Holloway initiated an ambitious project to imbue humans with regenerative abilities, believing it to be Time Lord DNA. As it happened, it was Morphant DNA, and the head scientist, Donald Stark, attempted to include the Morphant's abilities into his own genetic makeup. As he lacked the mental powers of the Master, he failed to retain his own identity and was left a slave to the Morphant's hunger.

Transformed into a huge Morphant dwelling in London sewers, Stark kept insisting he was in full control of himself. He ate people and absorbed their knowledge and identities; this backfired when it turned out that he lacked the ability to suppress the many minds absorbed by the Morphant. Izzy Sinclair nearly fell prey to its carnivorous desires, though upon detecting she had contact with the Doctor, she was left alive as a bargaining chip. The Doctor destroyed the Morphant hybrid by slamming a combat helicopter onto it. (COMIC: The Fallen)
