How about the Kampfult from old MMII? A fleshy tree-like polyp at home in dark forests or underground. The Vilstrak was an interesting concept of a creature that could pass through solid stone, perhaps beefed up and re-imagined as the original MMII version was too weak.
From African folklore the Dingonek, a massive beast armored like a pangolin, with fierce claws, teeth, a barbed clublike tail and nasty disposition. The Mujina from Hawaiian/Japanese folklore, faceless ghost or shapeshifter. And from Native American legend (Iroquois) the flying head (Dagwanoenyent), a head larger than a man with shaggy black hair, flies on bat wings and has claws in place of a neck. A bit like a massive powerful vargouille. In legend this beast was nasty enough to depopulate parts of the Adirondacks before European contact.
