The Hydra is a vicious giant female serpent with regenerative powers that was sealed under a boulder in Thebes.

Cyclops
Cyclops
This Cyclops is a giant hoofed monster with a single horn and eye who is never mentioned by name. He is far larger than the other Cyclopes seen in the series, but his large size and strength is nothing compared to the Cyclops from the film who allied himself with the Titans.
The Chimera is a giant amalgamation of numerous creatures, possessing a lion's body and mane, a dragon or lion-like face (which slightly resembles her father Typhon's), a goat's legs and horns, clawed humanoid hands, reptilian skin, and has a snake for a tail. She is capable of breathing flames from both ends.
Ladon
Ladon
Ladon is the youngest of Echidna's children and the last one she bore before Typhon was imprisoned. Out of all her children Ladon is the only one who bares a physical resemblance to both his parents.
Gegenius
Gegenius
Gegenius is a sailor eating yeti-like monster who is enemies with Jason of the Argonauts. Sea Nymphs work with Gegenius luring sailors to him for him to feed on, in exchange he spares the Sea Nymphs.
Geryon is a large human-like monster with three torsos. Unlike the rest of his multi-headed siblings, Geryon's heads think in unison rather than each head having a mind of its own.Ferrell.
The Minotaur is a large humanoid bull who enjoyed causing mayhem and destruction in the city of Heraklion, the capital of Crete. When Crete's king Minos finally captured him he requested of Daedalus and Icarus to build a large maze to keep the Minotaur imprisoned. However the insane king only wanted to use the maze for entertainment by throwing innocent people into the maze so they could be hunted by the Minotaur.
Trivia
The Minotaur as an infant
In the original myth the Minotaur was the stepson of King Minos but in the animated series there is no mention of the two being related.
In the film, the Minotaur had red eyes and lacked clothing and facial hair and in the episode Hercules and the Parents Weekend he had purple skin as an infant (although this may be due to a lack of fur).
In the episode Hercules and the Bacchanal, it is implied that there may be more than one Minotaur.
Sphinx
Sphinx
The Sphinx is a game-show loving monster who lives high up on a mountain top. Whenever someone trespasses on his domain he forces them to play on his game show and if they answer all his questions right he gives them a fabulous prize but if they get them wrong he eats them.
Trivia
In the original myths, the Sphinx was female, not male. However this sphinx bears several similarities to its Egyptian counterpart, namely the beard and gender.
The Harpies are female bird-like monsters with humanoid faces. Another smaller and more older harpy appeared in Hercules and the Epic Adventure in which she is a thieving collector who steals anything that appears shiny or anything that seems interesting, like a poem.
In the Hercules video game for the PlayStation the Harpy had a different design, sporting a more humanoid appearance with green skin, feline-like legs and tail, and wings on her back.
Trivia
In the original myths the Harpies were the children of Electra and Thaumas.
Argus Panoptes is a flamboyant multi-eyed monster who lives at the base of Mount Olympus. He apparently enjoys drinking lattes and making lip balm and spending Saturday nights curled up with a good book. He is also close friends with Hermes. He is eager to help his friend but somewhat unwilling to part with the eye cream Hercules needed for rather obvious reasons.
Scylla is a giant sea monster with the upper body of a woman and a lower half made up of many eels. In "Hercules and the Big Sink", she was summoned by Poseidon after he was bribed by Croesus to attack Hercules and keep him from finding Cassandra.
Trivia
In the original myth she was the daughter of both Echidna and Heracles.
Charybdis is a gaping maw who resides within a tidal pool. In the episode "Hercules and the Poseidon's Cup Adventure", Poseidon summons her as an obstacle to the big race.
The Furies are a race of giant purple reptilian birds with fangs that live in the Underworld. They attack anyone who comes near Hades' palace and they have numerous bones decorating their nests. Another race of artificial Furies are created by Electra's anger, the differences between the two is that Electra's Furies seem less reptilian, wear spiked collars, have mechanical wings and disappear into dust after one hit.
Ceto is a giant sea serpent who lives in the River Styx which is located in the Underworld. In the film, Hercules fought this monster during the Zero to Hero segment wherein Hercules and Phil where searching for it in an ominous sea, when they finally find Ceto Hercules quickly defeats it and turns it into a fishing trophy. Ceto also appears in the animated series as a resident of the Underworld who attacks anyone who falls into the River Styx.
Ceto was a primordial sea goddess in Greek mythology.
In the film and the episode "Hercules and the Parents Weekend", Ceto is shown as having the tip of its tail forked while in other appearances it is not.
Caucasian Eagle
The Caucasian Eagle
The Caucasian Eagle is a giant bird who was ordered by Zeus to eat the liver of the imprisoned Titan Prometheus every day as punishment for the Titan's disobedience. After so many years together, it seemed that Prometheus and the Eagle had formed an unwanted casual relationship where they would casually talk about how annoying their routine is and how the Eagle has grown bored of eating nothing but Prometheus' liver to the point where he even brought an onion with him to add flavor to it, much to Prometheus' annoyance. When Prometheus was freed by Hercules, Hades transformed the Eagle into a fire bird to subdue him, which the Eagle appreciated as he could now eat the liver fried. In the end, Hercules managed to subdue the Eagle and convince his father to free Prometheus. As a result, he could no longer do his routine with the Titan. He was voiced by Jerry Stiller.

Main article: List of minor villains in Hercules#The Gorgon, Griffin and Minotaur
An image of a Gorgon resembling the one from the film is seen in the episode Hercules and the Parents Weekend while Echidna is singing about her children. Whether Echidna is the mother of all Gorgons or just this one is unknown.
Possible Children
Doubt
Doubt
Doubt is a large humanoid cobra who can instill the fear of doubt in anyone he bites. Hades teamed Doubt up with Pain and Panic in order to make Icarus doubtful about kissing Cassandra, for if he kissed her, Cassandra would be freed from a deal she made with Hades.
Arachne
Arachne
Arachne is the servant of the Fates who acts as the guardian of the Tapestry of Fate. She is a giant spider-like monster who dislikes her job greatly, but apparently she seems to complain about almost anything. When Hercules and Hades altered fate Arachne's fate was altered as well and she was no longer serving the Fates, yet she still complained about not being able to be a guardian. She mentioned that it was her mother who egged her into becoming a guardian.
Trivia
In the original Greek myth, she was a great human weaver who was cursed by Athena into becoming a monstrous spider hybrid.
