		The Nimon shoots a non lethal yellow ray from his horns at one of the teens -- a dark haired boy who falls but is not dead.
		It is a transmitter with the horns acting as an antenna.
		She stuns the Nimon and goes to him, "Come with me." She can't leave him but he takes his staff back from her to hold the Nimon off, telling her to warn Skonnos and the rest of the universe.

		The Nimons are pretty scary - at least I thought so - or at least the thought of them was scary.
		Horns of Nimon completes the trilogy though after Creature and Nightmare did the show no favours what so ever.
		The plot is very thin on the ground, and when you have shots of someone walking through the Nimon’s maze before cutting to another scene (or in some cases, back to the same scene) you know they must be struggling to flesh it out to make up four episodes.

		"The Horns of Nimon" might arguably be the worst of Season 17, but with an open mind and a few beers, this adventure might make even the mоst discriminating Who fan look twice.
		Due tо the industrial strike that took place during Shаdа, The Horns Of Nimon was the last completed story of Season 17, which meant the end of two things.

	Doctor Who Monsters and Villians - Nimon
		They normally infiltrate planets by sending one of their kind on from their previous location, this Nimon claiming that they were the sole survivors of their race, and promising the people of the new planet advanced technology in exchange for 'sacrifices' from other planets.
		Romana discovered the capsule the Nimon had used to travel from their previous conquest - the planet Crinoth - and, with the aid of the last survivor of the planet, managed to acquire a weapon that could be used against the Nimon.
		Since the Nimon hadn't 'topped Grayle up', as it were, he was still mortal at this time, and as a result, he was killed by his past self, who refused to let himself become that thing that had lost all knowledge of love and honour.

		The Horns of Nimon is the most maligned story of the G. Williams' era as producer because of its humor content & over-the-top performances.
		Interestingly, before she even sees the Nimons, Romana says that the Nimons could be an insecure race, and that could tie with the idea that they are too horrific for themselves.
		The Nimon themselves are impressive up to a point, their heads working better than the rest of them; although vocally they are very striking.

		In Doctor Who: Horns of Nimon, the declining Skonnon Empire's quest for the technology to launch a second galactic empire rests upon tributes from the people of the planet Aneth.
		The inhabitants of the planet Skonnos have been promised by an alien Nimon that he will restore their empire to greatness if they in return provide young sacrifices and radioactive hymetusite crystals, both of which they are obtaining from the nearby planet Aneth.
		HORNS OF NIMON is a good idea for a story, destroyed by a poor cast and the inclusion of many unnecessary children, and useless actors.

	Outpost Gallifrey: Episode Guide
		The Horns of Nimon is lauded as one of the show's worst stories, possibly undeservedly, probably for the overacting of Graham Crowden as Soldeed.
		The Nimon were originally intended to be aliens wearing bull-masks to frighten the inhabitants of the planets they invaded, but budgetary restrictions meant that the masks ended up being the real creatures.
		The Nimon Power Complex was based around the idea of a giant printed circuit, the paths through which changed to trap any visitors and draw them to the Nimon at the centre.

		The Skonnans believe that the Nimon will bring their planet great prosperity but, with the help of two escaped Anethans, the Doctor learns that they are actually intergalactic locusts, ravaging each world foolish enough to believe their lies.
		Theseus became the young Anethan Seth; Minotaur was shortened and anagrammed to Nimon; Daedalus, inventor of the Labyrinth, was reversed to make Soldeed; Athens turned into Aneth; the palace of Knosses turned into Skonnos; and the Greek state of Corinth became Crinoth.
		Unexpectedly, The Horns Of Nimon became the concluding serial of Season Seventeen when industrial action at the BBC forced the abandonment of the half-completed Shada, originally intended to end the season.

		After the delicious dialogue about how many Nimons he's seen today ("I have seen threeeeeee!"), he pulls off the most over the top, ludicrous and absolutely silly death scene ever to appear in the series, I'm certain.
		She was intelligent, held her own against not only the co-pilot, but Soldeed, the Nimon on the other planet and managed to save most of the bland sacrifice peoples too, even before the Doctor turned up.
		She even has her own sonic screwdriver now - the scene where she escapes from the cell on the spaceship toward the start with it assured me that the concept for a female Doctor was certainly possible.

	Gallifrey5.co.uk :: The Horns of Nimon, VHS Review
		On the planet Skonnos, the mysterious Nimon lives in a labyrinthine complex, promising a great future for the Skonnon Empire on receipt of the tribute.
		The whole concept of the Nimon, creating Black Holes, swallowing planets in the process just so that the Nimon can travel in space is an excellent idea, giving the Nimon a Universal threat.
		In fact, in a clever piece of writing, Read sends Romana in one of the capsules to see Crinoth, one of the worlds previously destroyed by Nimon, where she encounters Sezom, and it quite clearly brings home the threat presented by the Nimon.

		The Nimon has promised the Skonnon leader, Soldeed, that he will return Skonnos to its former glory if he is supplied with young humans and hymetusite, a radioactive crystalline substance, which the warlike Skonnos have pillaged from the peaceful planet of Aneth.
		After the Doctor manages to repair the TARDIS, he follows his companion to Skonnos, and discovers that the Nimon is using the crystals to build a fl hole, which will be used to bring the other members of his race to Skonnos.
		The Nimon jump from planet to planet, draining them of their energy and resources like a plague of galactic locusts; one of their number is always sent ahead to take advantage of the unsuspecting inhabitants, in order to pave the way for the invasion.

		This tale of bull-headed Nimon parasites is just before the turning point when JNT tried to turn things around.
		But this Nimon crap is kiddies hour, more than ever, with growling silly monsters, wild eyed boo-hiss villains, pantomime FX and a callous and silly Doctor who was screaming "I'm past my used-by date!" Romana's a crap smug companion too, who makes Adric look humble by comparison.
		The horns of Nimon is one of those few Dr. Who stories which is often frowned upon in the main by the fans because of it's panto- style production, and for it's costume design.

		Their mode of operation was to send a single Nimon ahead to promise wealth and power to an unsuspecting race, then build a Complex which enabled the other Nimon to infiltrate, take over and eventually drain the host planet from its resources.
		One Nimon arrived on Skonnos and convinced the Skonnans that it would rebuild their dilapidated Empire for them in return for hymetusite and young people from the planet Aneth.
		After they had all arrived, the Fourth Doctor and Seth exposed the Nimon and destroyed the Complex, leaving the Nimon stranded on the dying world of Crinoth.

		However, this is one of the more misunderstood elements of The Horns of Nimon.
		An amusing comedy for lighter occasions, there's only one problem with The Horns of Nimon: It should be even dafter.

		The Nimon resemble the mythical Minotaur, these fl bull-headed monsters were actually a technologically advanced race who existed by draining planets of their energy, having first seduced the naive population with promises of power.
		In the centre of a maze on Skonnos the Nimon transported his fellows from the planet of Crinoth (which was sucked dry by the Nimon) to Skonnos where they were killed in an explosion.
		The Hymetusite is the most radioactive substance in the galaxy which was brought to Skonnos as a tribute to the Nimon and used to fuel their space capsules.
