If there’s something Doctor Who is known for besides time travel hijinks, sonic screwdrivers, and regeneration, it’s boasting a vast array of unforgettable monsters. With a new season of Doctor Who on the horizon, we're revisiting the Doctor’s rogues gallery to spotlight the most formidable creatures our beloved Time Lord has encountered.
