Vessalak

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Vessalak was an intelligent insect, and part of the Howling Swarm.

When Koragatta sought independence from the Queen Mother of its swarm, Vessalak was sent to retrieve the renegade. Koragatta consumed oil from the fields in Iraq, growing enormous. This enabled it to destroy the still normal sized Vessalak. (COMIC: A Wing and a Prayer)
