Alien camel

A member of a camel-like species once landed his cloaked space pod in the Sahara Desert. As part of the pod's defences, the outside environment could be animated and controlled. The sand in the desert was turned into a fearsome sandstorm to frighten the local Bedouin tribes, who believed the storm to be the mythical spirit Djinn. When the creature's cloaking device failed to conceal its presence, the Eleventh Doctor stopped the planned invasion, and sent the space pod on a one-way journey back home. (COMIC: Sandblasted)
