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 vast array of unforgettable monsters that populate its universe. 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 formidable creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.
Before diving in, a few clarifications: We've excluded villains who don't fit the traditional "monster" category, so iconic adversaries like the Master won't appear here. Moreover, while some of these beings originate from the classic series, each has appeared at least once in the televised episodes since the 2005 revival. We believe the "modern" monsters not only pack a greater punch but also resonate more with contemporary audiences. With these points in mind, let's delve into the list. Below, we present our top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
