So many to choose from, but I'm going with the Cyclops. I still wish Aurora had made a model of him.

I like the harpies in Clash of the Titans and the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts.
Listen to them. Children of the Night. What music they make!

How about bubo the owl, not a Monster as such
But a great addition to rays line up.

The cyclops would probably have to get my vote, but the ships in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers are just about my favorite Harryhausen. And there is something singularly creepy about those minimalist aliens...

Every creature in Clash was awsome, but the Kraken would be my favorite.  Large and in charge!  Medusa was the scariest by far.

Cyclops
Talos
Minoton (Though I thought they screwed the pouch killing him off before he could do battle) :'(

It's impossible to choose just one, but here's one nobody has mentioned -- the masthead from "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad":





But it was hard not to be totally creeped out by Talos, one of my favorites:

"Do you know what I've got in those crates?"

The Rhedosaurus

Out of curiosity, did Harryhausen have a plan for any films after "Clash of the Titans", or perhaps he planned that to be his final motion picture?
What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

I think the big studios passed him up in favor of newer technology like Industrial light and Magic was making for Willow and Return of the Jedi. I know that he scrapped a sequel to Clash of the Titans because no studios would fund it called Force of the Trojans.
