If there's something Doctor Who is renowned for, aside from time travel adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and regeneration, it's the extensive lineup of memorable monsters. As we welcome a new season of Doctor Who, it's the perfect time to revisit the Doctor's rogues gallery and spotlight the most fearsome creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.
Before diving in, a few clarifications: We've excluded villains that don't fit the conventional definition of "monsters," so you won't find the Master on this list. Moreover, while some of these creatures hail from the classic series, each entry has appeared on screen at least once since the 2005 revival. We believe the "modern" monsters are not only more impactful but also resonate more with contemporary audiences. With these points in mind, let's delve into our selection. Here are the top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
