The creature was massive in size, easily several times that of a [[whale]]. It shared many similarities with [[lure fish]], namely the overall shape of its body, its fins and its [[bioluminescent]] lure on its forehead. The creature was [[female]] and could produce several offspring who were the size of regular lure fish. | The creature was massive in size, easily several times that of a [[whale]].

For an undetermined amount of time, possibly spanning centuries, the creature and her offspring were chained up under the River Thames by [[Sutcliffe]]'s family. They somehow discovered that its [[faeces]] made for an ideal [[fossil fuel]], which burned longer and hotter than [[coal]], and decided to sell it to amass wealth and power. In order to ensure a constant supply, they would subtly influence the Frost Fairs that took place every year on the river Thames and have the offspring feed humans to their mother. | For an undetermined amount of time, possibly spanning centuries, the creature and her offspring were chained up under the River Thames by [[Sutcliffe]]'s family.

During the [[Frost Fair]] of [[1814]], the Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts arrived, the TARDIS having detected the creature's presence. Once they realised what was happening and that the creature was as much a victim as the people she was forced to eat, they freed her and defeated Sutcliffe. After she was freed, the creature and her offspring swam away to some northern location to live in peace.
