Shub-Niggurath was an inhabitant of the previous universe named by Rassilon. (PDA: Divided Loyalties) When that universe came to an end, she and others of her kind entered this universe, where they discovered that they were virtually omnipotent. Shub-Niggurath, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth on Polymos, thus giving rise to the Nestene Consciousness. The Sixth Doctor suggested that she died (PDA: Synthespians™) but later cited her success conquering Polymos with her offspring as embarrassing her peer, Yog-Sothoth. (MA: Millennial Rites)
A group of sentient TARDISes from the Second War in Heaven shouted "Ia Shub Niggurath!" whilst speaking with their little sister, Compassion. (EDA: The Taking of Planet 5)
