Doctor Who: EVERY NuWho Villain And Monster Ranked Worst To Best
4. The Beast
Appears in: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit.
The apex of evil joins the pantheon of powerfully prestigious Classic Who villains like the Celestial Toymaker, the Eternals, and the Black Guardian. Although we get to see an impressive CGI Beast in his usual guise - devil horns, eyes that emit a black hole vibe, the merciless cackle - it's the possession of Toby and the Ood with the combination of the terrifying red eyes and superbly spine-chilling voice of Gabriel Woolf that brings the scary factor.
The horror is heightened enough to give wee Whovians (and even those of us long in the tooth) a few behind the sofa moments, especially when the sinisterly smiling, Sharpie marked Toby kills Scooti in a pretty distressing manner. The Beast also provides a couple of well-timed jump scares for good measure by making a couple of brief, growling appearances before his big showdown with the Doctor.
Despite Rose sending the possessed Toby into the black hole with a suitably badass "go to hell", he defiantly roars "I shall never die! The thought of me is forever! Nothing shall ever destroy me! Nothing! So, Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor may get his wish to battle the Beast in the RTD2 era.
