If there's one thing Doctor Who is renowned for, aside from its time-travel adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the iconic regeneration process, it's its vast array of unforgettable monsters. As we eagerly anticipate the new season of Doctor Who, it's the perfect time to delve into the Doctor's notorious rogues gallery and spotlight the most fearsome creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.
Before we dive in, a few clarifications: We've excluded villains that don't fit the classic definition of "monsters," so you won't find the Master on this list. Furthermore, while some of these beings have roots in the original series, each one listed here has appeared on screen at least once since the 2005 revival. We believe that these "modern" monsters are not only more impactful but also resonate more deeply with contemporary audiences. With those points in mind, let's explore the top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
