House was a malevolent Entity that fed on TARDISes in a Bubble Universe
Biology
House was a malevolent, mysterious entity that was native to a smaller bubble universe that was outside that occupied by the main universe. House existed as an intelligence that resided in a time rift. Its body was that of an asteroid-sized celestial body. At the time of his encounter with the Doctor, he implied that he was at least half a million years old.
The creature gorged itself on artron energy and at some point discovered the existence of the Time Lords, whose TARDISes were filled with just such a power source. It began using Gallifreyan distress signals to lure Time Lords to its surface, where they were trapped. Once there, House removed the TARDIS' Matrix and devoured the TARDIS to feed itself. The trapped Time Lords were left behind and they eventually would perish. House's encounters with the Time Lords led it to calling them a kind race. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)
History
During its existence, Uncle, Auntie, the Ood Nephew and Idris came upon House. They lived on its surface. As Time Lords died on the surface of House, he used his powers to renew the bodies of his servants and replaced parts of their dying bodies with those taken from the dead Gallifreyans. They became an extension of his will and did his tasks. In 2011, House again grew hungry and attracted the attention of the Eleventh Doctor, who was accompanied by Amy Pond and Rory Williams.
Upon their arrival, House used his powers to remove the Doctor's TARDIS's Matrix, leaving it blank in order for it to be consumed. However, during a conversation with the Doctor, House learnt that the Time Lords had perished in a terrible conflict. Realising that its food source had been eliminated, House decided to change its pattern of behaviour by possessing the now empty TARDIS and using it to reach the mainstream universe in order to find new sources of energy.
To amuse itself, it used the TARDIS to play with the lives of Amy and Rory. However, the Doctor managed to construct a TARDIS from the remains of the time ships left on House's home. The Doctor's TARDIS Matrix was eventually released from her dying Human body, allowing her to repossess the time ship, whereupon House's essence was expunged from the ship. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)
