'''Nephew''' was an [[Ood]] who lived with [[Auntie (The Doctor's Wife)|Auntie]] and [[Uncle (The Doctor's Wife)|Uncle]] on an [[asteroid]] — actually an accretion to a sentient [[lifeform]] called [[House (The Doctor's Wife)|House]]. | |||

Nephew | Nephew — like [[Auntie (The Doctor's Wife)|Auntie]], [[Uncle (The Doctor's Wife)|Uncle]] and [[Idris]] — was brought to House through a [[Time rift|rift in space-time]]. When he arrived, he was broken, but House fixed him. There he lived with Auntie, Uncle and [[Idris]]. He tended to Auntie's and Uncle's worries in the manner of an enslaved Ood. However, unlike [[Auntie (The Doctor's Wife)|Auntie]] and [[Uncle (The Doctor's Wife)|Uncle]], he did not possess any obvious signs of being "repaired" by House. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] attempted to fix his [[translation sphere]], but it didn't work very long and only picked up [[Time Lord]] [[hypercube]] transmissions, not the Ood's thoughts. | ||

He chased Amy and Rory through [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] corridors. He met his demise in the control room used by the [[Ninth Doctor|Ninth]] and [[Tenth Doctor]]s when the Doctor and Idris' makeshift TARDIS materialised in the space he was standing in, rending him apart at an atomic level.

According to ''[[The Doctor Who Companion: The Eleventh Doctor Vol. 3]]'', [[Neil Gaiman]] originally created a new alien for Nephew, but was asked to choose a previously established race when the budget didn't allow for the creation of a new monster. | |||
