All classic monsters and none depend on image (though in some it helps).

I beg to differ... the Dalek image is 50% of their popularity; as is the recognisable Cyber-look for the Cybermen. They really do depend on the image. For example, if the Daleks weren't the pepperpot shape, they would've just been any old ruthless creatures. It's the design that actually made people fall in love/become utterly scared of them; it's one of the most iconic designs on TV.
Plus, Slitheen... classic monster? What?
Many classic monsters had a humanoid form/look about them, y'know...
Zygons, the Master, Cybermen, Sontarans, the Destroyer, Davros, the Great Vampires, Meglos, Skaroth, Draconians, Morbius... to name but a few from throughout the classic series.
