Top 20 Doctor Who Monsters in the Modern Era

If there's one thing Doctor Who is renowned for, aside from its thrilling time travel adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the fascinating concept of regeneration, it's the vast and terrifying array of monsters that populate its universe. As we eagerly anticipate the new season, 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 we dive in, a few clarifications: Our list excludes villains that don't fit the traditional definition of "monsters," so iconic adversaries like the Master won't be featured here. Additionally, while some of these creatures hail from the classic series, each one has appeared on screen at least once since the 2005 revival. We believe the "modern" monsters not only resonate more with contemporary audiences but also align better with our focus. With these points in mind, let's explore the top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
