Frankenstein's monster

Frankenstein's Monster was a character from the 1818 novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The creature, a reanimated soul created from body parts, became iconic when portrayed on film by Boris Karloff, and many other actors thereafter, in the 20th century. The character was never given a name by Shelley, and was correctly only known as The Monster, The Creature, or Frankenstein's Monster (and variants thereof), but over time it became common for it to be referred to simply as "Frankenstein".

In 1996, an android version of Frankenstein's Monster, with Dracula and the Grey Lady, was part of an attraction at the Festival of Ghana. When Daleks in pursuit of the Doctor's TARDIS fired on it, it attacked them (DW: The Chase). Microsoft would undergo investigation for building such dangerous robots. (EDA: Interference)

The character's creator, Mary Shelley, once travelled with the Doctor. (BFA: The Company of Friends).
