If there's one thing Doctor Who is renowned for, aside from its time-traveling escapades, sonic screwdrivers, and the Doctor's iconic regenerations, it's the show's extensive lineup of unforgettable monsters. As we eagerly anticipate the new season of Doctor Who, let's take a nostalgic journey through the Doctor's rogues gallery and spotlight the fiercest monsters our beloved Time Lord has encountered.
Before diving in, a few points to clarify: We've excluded villains that don't fit the traditional definition of "monsters," so fans of the Master won't find him here. Moreover, while some of these creatures hail from the classic series, every monster on our list has made at least one appearance since the 2005 revival. We believe the "modern" monsters are more impactful and align better with our focus. With those details out of the way, let's delve into the list. Here are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
