Top 20 Doctor Who Monsters in Modern Era Revealed

Authore: AidenUpdate:Apr 12,2025

If there's one thing Doctor Who is renowned for, apart from its time-traveling adventures, sonic screwdrivers, and the phenomenon of regeneration, it's boasting an expansive array of unforgettable monsters. As a new season of Doctor Who dawns, we're taking a nostalgic journey through the Doctor's rogues gallery to spotlight the fiercest creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.

Before we dive in, a quick heads-up: We've excluded villains that don't fit the traditional "monster" label, so don't look for the Master here. Also, while some of these creatures have roots in the classic series, every monster listed has made at least one appearance since the 2005 revival. We believe that the "modern" monsters resonate more effectively with contemporary audiences (and align better with our focus). With these points clarified, let's explore the list. Below are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters of the modern era.
