K9
From ‘The Invisible Enemy’ 1977
"There is no need for gratitude. I am an automaton."
The TARDIS is infiltrated by the Swarm - a space-borne intelligence that wishes to spread itself across the universe - and the Doctor is infected by its nucleus. The ship then materialises on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn, where the human occupants of a refuelling station have also been taken over. The Doctor eventually collapses as a result of his infection, but first manages to relay to Leela the coordinates of a local hospital asteroid.
At the hospital, a Professor Marius clones the Doctor and Leela, miniaturises the clones and then injects them into the Doctor's body in the hope that they can find and destroy the nucleus. However, the plan backfires as the nucleus escapes from the Doctor in place of the clones and is enlarged to human size. The creature arranges for itself to be taken back to Titan, where breeding tanks have been prepared for it...
The Invisible Enemy is where we are first introduced to the character of K9, where he is serving as assistant to Professor Marius. A dog-shaped robot, invented and built by the Professor himself, K9 has encyclopaedic knowledge, vast computer intelligence and a powerful laser weapon concealed in his nose. Marius gives K9 to the Doctor as a parting gift, where he goes on to appear alongside the Doctor in over 20 storylines.
