The Deadly Mutant (comic story) was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.
Summary
The TARDIS has materialised on an asteroid – the last known location of the Koth-Kulaar, where a team from Space Service led by Commander Dalton search for the whereabouts of Agent 99. They are alerted to the presence of two alien Xragoni (a usually peaceful race of artists and poets) when they become entangled in the tentacles of a giant mutant creature that they are hunting in revenge for terrorising their planet. The Xragoni are rescued with the Doctor insisting the weapons are set to stun, not kill. When the creature comes round, the Doctor tracks the tentacles back to a cave where they find a giant mutated mutagenic protobioform. Having managed to survive without the usual travel machine, the creature is near death. Appealing for compassion as they witness the final moments of a unique life form, they watch the mutant creature die and respectfully bury it on the asteroid. The frustrated Commander, his mission to find Agent 99 a failure, has the Xragon (as a sign of their appreciation for the Doctors help), pass on the last known location of Agent 99 to him.
