If there’s something Doctor Who is known for besides time travel adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the Doctor’s regenerations, it’s the extensive collection of iconic monsters that have haunted our screens. With a new season of Doctor Who on the horizon, 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 in, a few points to note: We've excluded villains that don't fit the traditional "monster" category, so you won't find the Master listed here. Additionally, while some of these creatures have roots in the classic series, each one 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 that in mind, let's explore the list. Here are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
