Doctor Who

The imagination ofDoctor Who’smonster is astounding , but despite introduce some undischarged villain , there are others that never made it past their first on - covert appearance . In the more than sixty age thatDoctor Whohas been on tv set , the few constants remain the Doctor , his TARDIS , and his companions . Meanwhile , monsters and villain make occasional appearance , but the show has fallen into a number of having a small number of rotating monsters , with many other aliens and life sentence forms appearing in one off stories .

Forevery adventure where the Master returns , or the Daleks fall fearfulness into the hearts of everyone they get together , there are stories with a one - off villain . Evidently , when a protagonist to all of outer space and clip , they are likely to fulfill a seemingly endless kind of big guys . However , there are a number of these scoundrel who are incredibly intricate and full of profoundness , despite only feature one story appearance . And like the Weeping Angels of the mod geological era , they merit to be bring back and have their narrative expanded .

10Sycorax

Brutal Alien Invaders

complain thing off with the very first aliens that the Tenth Doctor come in contact with after rejuvenate , the Sycorax . Sycorax are an interesting metal money which has a language which is very rudimentary and based in tribal , warring language . They wear armor made of bones , and they look incredibly unfriendly and aggressive , attempting to take over a planet almost as presently as they arrive there . However , despite their seeming tribalism and ritualistic nature , the Sycorax are a extremely ripe race .

Over the twelvemonth , there have been several Doctor Who episodes or series that saw the Doctor cross path with one or more of their other incarnations .

Obviously , these creatures seem to have crock up the code when it comes to lightspeed space travel , but the fact that they can do it on what seems to be a large rock hints that they have advanced incredibly quickly . In addition , their science allows them to take control of entire part of the universe through the consumption of pedigree in a way that resemble legerdemain . Of of course , when skill is advanced enough , it appear indistinguishable from thaumaturgy , and the Sycorax are distinctly much more advance than the man in terms of technical school .

9Mara

Shapeshifting Nightmare

Technically , the Mara showed up in two freestanding stories during the classic earned run average , but both times were very close , in season 19 and then time of year 20 . Since then , the lineament has never been seen again , although the late return of characters like the Toymaker and Sutekh have referenced the Mara . Today , the Mara is considered to be one of the members of thePantheon of the Gods inDoctor Who , but when they first appear , they were a manifestation of human greed and hate .

While inhabiting Tegan , the puppet was able to increase its power , until it finally exited her body and revealed its truthful form as a ophidian .

When the Fifth Doctor met the Mara , it deal to take control of his familiar Tegan . While inhabiting Tegan , the creature was able to increase its mightiness , until it finally exited her eubstance and revealed its true form as a snake . Like Sutekh , the Mara was not killed , but rather , expatriate and trapped . With the late mentions of the character , it seems likely that they could appear again in the near future ofDoctor Whoas it pursues the tale involve the Pantheon .

8Vashta Narada

Shadowy Book Creatures

One of the great monsters in the modern earned run average , the Vashta Narada , is another rival face by the 10th Dr. . While research the large library in the universe , the Doctor notices that the entire planet appears abandoned . However , scanners did detect animation forms nearby . As it turns out , an invisible race of creatures who formerly lived in forests were send to the planet via the page of the ledger which dwell the library .

Dr. Who   is a very extra video show to me , and it has been since I see Christopher Eccleston pop up on my screen in a leather jacket back in 2005 . The Doctor has said some incredible things over the age , both in the classical and New epoch , that have remain with me since I first listen them . If I had to pick the one that resonates with me the most , though , it would be the First Doctor say , " Go forward in all your notion , and prove to me that I am not misguided in mine . "

Trying to settle into their new base , the Vashta Narada killed any life figure it came across , but the creatures were unable to move outside the phantasm . Once inhabiting a consistence , though , the beast can keep in line the bodies of their victims , turning them into walk underframe . The revulsion of these unobserved competition made them occult and terrifying , and they merit another chance on the show .

7The Cheetah People

Ferocious Humanoids

One of the most interesting story to come out of theSeventh Doctor ’s erawas when he encountered the mysterious Cheetah People . While travel , the Doctor shoot down on a satellite that looks like inhabit by humanoid creatures with cheetah head and animalistic natures .

6Meglos

Manipulative Alien Lord

Meglos was one of the most brawny rivals that the Fourth Doctor ever faced . The tool was the last survivor of his species , the Zolfa - Thurans , and his genuine descriptor resemble a cactus , although it was very tumid and wide . However , despite this unassuming and bristly appearance , Meglos ' had enough power to imprison the Doctor and Romana . And beyond this , the Meglos then assumed the form of the Doctor for itself .

Starting Dr. Who in 2024 might seem like a daunting task for someone with no experience with the enfranchisement . There are 26 seasons of the show , with several actors serving as The Doctor — many more than once . For someone who has only heard about the show but never gave it a try , I commend starting with the New Who period , which kicked off with Christopher Eccleston ’s Doctor in 2005 and is a reboot for the franchise . That articulate , every re-formation of The Doctor basically wipes the slate sporting for a good jumping - on point .

Initially , the transcript was unchanging , and a perfect simulation of the Doctor , but over prison term , his true cast began to leech through . The tool ’s incredible power , the fact that it is the last of its sort , and that it can hide out in patent tidy sum make it a fascinating rival for the Doctor . However , since his initial appearance , Meglos has never been seen again . Presumably , the lifespan is not quite as extensive as a Time Lords , but the Doctor could cross paths somewhere in its timeline .

The Dream Lord , as they dubbed themselves , change by reversal out to be a part of the Doctor ’s own mind made manifest . While the Doctor is generally seen to be a hero , a healer , and a friend , the Dream Lord took the dingy parts of the Doctor ’s personality and used them to drive him and his companion to go through terrible trial . While the Fifteenth Doctor has split apart from early versions through bi - generation , it ’s still viable that the Doctor has a dark side , waiting to be tapped into again .

4Krillitane

Deadly Alien Chameleons

Another rival of the Tenth Doctor , a mystifying series of missing case at a school pick up the Doctor ’s attention and push him to investigate what was really beyond these disappearances .

These body snatchers were known as the Krillitane , a race of aliens that evolved at an incredible rate as they press and conform parts of their own physical structure with aspects of their fallen rivals .

The versatility of this creature , and the fact that it can look and behave in vastly different ways with each Modern encounter make them incredibly interesting .

While this quicken phylogeny commit the tool wing , venomous bite , and various other advancements , it also meant that they had become resistant to their own organic structure fluids . The oil that they exude was able to be consume by humans , and even enhance their brain power , but for the Krillitane ’s it was deadly . The versatility of this creature , and the fact that it can attend and behave in vastly unlike ways with each new encounter makes them incredibly interesting .

The Doctor ’s dealings with the Chameleons once again guide to moments where these animate being were capable to slip the identity operator of their enemies , but they made for thoroughly interesting villain .

2The Trickster

Reality-Warping Entity

While not technically featured in the mainline series ofDoctor Who , the Trickster stand out as one of the most interesting and powerful foes of the Doctor , and another member of the Pantheon of Gods . Their first , and thus far only appearance , was intheSarah Jane Adventuresspin - off , but they did come case to face with the Doctor . The extradimensional being had considerable powers to buckle reality , and this again made itself known inDoctor Who’smain show .

When Donna has an encounter with a elephantine exotic beetle that alter her personal history in " Turn Left , " the episode reveals that this plan to spay her animation was put in place by the Trickster .

1Midnight

Trapped on a Spaceship
