Travelling alone, the Doctor decides to check out a strange planet ...

Summary
On the purple planet of Corah the Doctor is captured by a military research team led by Professor Slade. Surrounding a nearby lake are crude human shaped statues which are giving off a faint electrical signal. The research team believe that the Doctor is responsible for killing a fellow crew member but when the Doctor asks them to count the statues there is an extra one. The Doctor believes something in the pool is transforming people. Upon further investigation, a tentacle belonging to a very large green creature emerges and rapidly drains all the moisture from Grent and another crew member leaving behind a husky shell,an extra skin. The Doctor offers an endless supply of water in his ship but the creature pursues them across the rocky terrain.
