Minotaur
The Minotaur encountered by the Doctor had been locked in a prison that resembled an Earth hotel. He was one of a race that invaded planets and set themselves up as gods to be worshipped. But when the indigenous population became secularised, they threw the aliens from their world.

The Doctor was able to sever the creature's food supply and give it 'space to die'. The Time Lord also noted that the 'alien-Minotaurs' as Amy called them, were distant cousins of the Nimon.
