The world is a ghetto

I'm trying to think of a story where the Doctor is up against a non-intelligent(?) creature like the xenomorph. What would he even do? I just get this mental picture of the 7th Doctor being "how do you do, I'm the Doct-" as it chomps into his head.

This pretty much happened in Vincent And The Doctor, although the invisible creature was blind and maybe semi-sentient. It pretty much wrecked him even after he built his silly look-at-a-thing mirror device and trapped it in a church. They only survived by accidentally luring it into attacking them in a panic and impaling itself.

Veritas has shown the aliens that the best way to conquer earth is to persuade all humans that they are in a simulation, wait, and then sweep up the ones who didnt kill themselves.

For about half of its runtime I legit thought this was going to be the twist to the episode. Like just conning their victims into being suicidal/complacent enough to give up seems like it would be less resource-intensive than simulating an entire planet's history and processing all their various sentiences and THEN going on to invade and/or murderize. It'd be kind of a RTD-era gag for cheap villains with access to handwavium technology, but still.
