The serpent (snake) aApp (Apophis in Greek) was a symbol of darkness, chaos and all things evil. The name is written with signs spelling out aApp(i) plus the determinative of a snake with knives stuck into its back - as a magical way of reducing its powers.
For almost all of ancient Egyptian history it was pictured as a giant snake, only becoming a demonic dragon-like creature during the Late period. Dragons were not a feature of Egyptian religion, so "monster" is probably more accurate.
