== Summary ==
== Summary ==
The TARDIS has materialised on an asteroid the last known location of the [[Koth-Kulaar]]. A team from [[Space Service]] led by [[Space Service|Commander Dalton]] search for [[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 which they are hunting in revenge for terrorising their planet.  
The TARDIS has materialised on an [[Asteroid (The Deadly Mutant)|asteroid]] — the last known location of the [[Koth-Kulaar]]. A team from [[Space Service]] led by [[Commander]] [[Dalton (The Deadly Mutant)|Dalton]] search for [[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 which they are hunting in revenge for terrorising their planet.


The Xragoni are rescued; the Doctor insists the weapons be set to stun, not kill. When the creature comes round, the Doctor tracks the tentacles back to a cave. They find a giant, mutated, mutagenic protobioform. Having survived without the usual travel machine, the creature is near death.  
The Xragoni are rescued; the Doctor insists the weapons be set to stun, not kill. When the creature comes round, the Doctor tracks the tentacles back to a cave. They find a giant, mutated, mutagenic protobioform. Having survived 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.
