House Pests (comic story): Difference between revisions

The Doctor and Martha arrive in the jungle on Lumana, and 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 child-like little 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 bib green fire breathing creature but rather than wanting to eat the Loomish, looks out for them and their bat friends. The mischievous Loomish are well known for conning visitors and when the Doctor and Martha return they find the Loomish have moved into the TARDIS having 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. Using a Loomish horn that the Doctor collected up in the TARDIS, Martha sounds the horn in the jungle which the Loomish hear as a distress sound and hurriedly leave the TARDIS to assist. The Doctor secures the TARDIS door and witmess the Slaken arrival, lovingly bringing food for the Loomish. Feeling hungry the Doctor and Martha return to the TARDIS where the cooking pots are still warm!
