Top 20 Modern Doctor Who Monsters Revealed

If there's something Doctor Who is renowned for, beyond its time-travel adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the phenomenon of regeneration, it's undoubtedly its vast array of unforgettable monsters. As we usher in a new season of Doctor Who, it's the perfect time to delve into the Doctor's rogues gallery and spotlight the most formidable creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.

Before we dive in, a few points to note: We've excluded villains that don't fit the classic definition of "monsters," so iconic foes like the Master won't be featured here. Additionally, while some of these creatures have origins in the classic series, each one listed has appeared on screen at least once since the show's 2005 revival. We believe that the "modern" monsters have a stronger impact and align more closely with our focus. With that clarified, let's explore the list. Here are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
