Opening narration box
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. By a nearby lake are crude, human-shaped statues which give off a faint electrical signal. The research team believe the Doctor has killed 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. A tentacle attached to a very large green creature emerges and rapidly drains all the moisture from Grent and another crew member leaving behind a husky shell. The Doctor offers an endless supply of water in his ship, but the creature pursues them across the rocky terrain.
