Surrounding a nearby lake are crude human shaped statues which are giving off a faint electrical signal. The research team believe that the Doctor is responsible for killing a fellow crew member but when the Doctor asks them to count the statues there is an extra one. The Doctor believes something in the pool is transforming people. Upon further investigation, a tentacle belonging to a very large green creature emerges and rapidly drains all the moisture from Grent and another crew member leaving behind a husky shell,an extra skin. The Doctor offers an endless supply of water in his ship but the creature pursues them across the rocky terrain.

Characters
References
- The Battles in Time comic strip often sought to reinforce the Doctor character with that as seen on screen by utilising various ‘props’ used in the TV series. Namely; blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
Notes
- Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
- The limitation of only 4 pages meant that stories often lacked some depth in comparison to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures, it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.
