While hardly a "monster," the mysterious giant Whale Probe from STIV probably belongs on your list.

And they're not Godzilla or even King Kong giant, but the original show's "The Galileo Seven" has a stranded shuttle crew menaced by "giant" humanoids. They're never fully seen but they're apparently at least 10 feet tall.

Weren't there two giant jellyfish entities at the end of the first episode (opening two-parter?) of Next Gen?
