If there's one thing Doctor Who is renowned for, apart from its time-traveling adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the concept of regeneration, it's the extensive and unforgettable collection of monsters that have graced the series. With the arrival of a new season, it's the perfect time to revisit the Doctor's rogues gallery and spotlight the most fearsome creatures the Time Lord has encountered.
Before diving into the list, a few clarifications are in order: We've excluded villains that don't fit the traditional definition of "monsters," so iconic antagonists like the Master won't appear here. Furthermore, while some of these creatures have origins in the classic series, each one has appeared on screen at least once since the show's 2005 revival. We believe the "modern" monsters are not only more impactful but also align better with our focus. With that in mind, let's delve into the list. Here are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters from the modern era.
