If there's something Doctor Who is renowned for, aside from time travel adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the concept of regeneration, it's the vast array of unforgettable monsters that populate its universe. As we gear up for a new season of Doctor Who, it's the perfect time to revisit the Doctor's rogues gallery and spotlight the fiercest creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.
Before diving into our list, a few points to note: We've excluded characters we don't consider traditional "monsters," so iconic villains like the Master won't appear here. Additionally, while some of these creatures hail from the classic series, each one listed has featured in at least one episode since the 2005 revival. We believe that the "modern" monsters not only resonate more powerfully with today's audiences but also align better with our focus. With that out of the way, let's delve into the countdown. Here are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
