Mykuootni

The Mykuootni were a hyper-advanced race of insects, who invaded and swarmed across planets. They fed on energy released by nuclear fission and their bodies converted it into fire power that emanated from their eyes. As a primary means of attack theor claws could dispense a strong electrical charge. While these creatures could make themselves invisible they were unable to disguise their load buzzing sound that they emitted - although this sound wasn’t always of a pitch audible to humans unless at close range.

The Doctor encountered the species at Skelsdale Power Station and was said to know of them. He defeated them with nuclear fusion energy, which made them sick and forced them to retreat. (DWAM: Power of the Mykuootni)

Behind the scenes
The Mykuootni were a creature designed by 14 year competition winner Jack Shepherd from Rotheram. The prize for the design was to have the alien featured in the Doctor Who Adventures comic strip adventures and to have the creature built as a model to be displayed at the Doctor Who Experience in London. Doctor Who Adventures 207 featured the comic strip story with an accompanying page showing the winning design along with the artist’s interpretation. Doctor Who Experience.
