Minotaur - half human, half ox
Cyclopes
No its a giant
Typhon (Typhoeus) and Porphyrion. Typhon was so great only Zeus could beat it (after a rematch- Zeus lost the first fight), the rest of the Olympians ran away in terror. Typhon was a massive monster, hundreds of feet tall. Porpyrion wasn't quite as large, but it was probably just as terrible. He was the leader, and worst, of a group of one hundred Giants created by Gaia to destroy the gods after the Titan War. It took the combined might of Herakles and Zeus to destroy him. If your looking for something for something smaller or less powerful try the Cyclops, Talos, Minotaur, Argus, or Gegenees. If you're still stumped try Theoi.com or wikipedia.
