Doctor Who: EVERY NuWho Villain And Monster Ranked Worst To Best

For the so-called finest soldiers in the galaxy, the Sontarans will be insulted by not getting more cracks at the Doctor (there's a 13-year gap between the Sontaran two-parter from Series 4 and them returning as one of the many antagonists in Flux). All those pathetic Dalek and Cybermen stratagems must infuriate them.

Of course this is mainly to do with the Sontarans becoming the comic relief thanks to Strax during the Steven Moffat era. The pugilistic potatoheads are certainly on a dangerous and violent par with the Daleks and Cybermen - we've seen them massacre UNIT soldiers and British troops, execute a line of unarmed people, and shown that they also possess a fearsome fleet of ships.

Unfortunately, for every Commander "Bloodbringer" Skorr, who took immense satisfaction in dying, there's a gluttonous Commander Shallo who makes Augustus Gloop look restrained.
