The Doctor, Romana, and the others heard the Nimon approach. The Doctor hid behind some machinery, but held his leg out, around a corner.

Unable to watch its feet because of its large immobile head, the Nimon tripped over the Doctor's foot and fell to the floor, face (and horns) down. It made pathetic 'moo' noises as it struggled helplessly to right itself.

"It's a clumsy creature in the gravity of a terrestrial planet," Romana noted.

A grinning Doctor agreed. "The moral of the story-- never let yourself get a big head."

Romana sighed. "You should take your own advice."
