The totally unstoppable monster isn't even my favorite type of antagonist (sorry Lovecraft you still rock). My favorite is where it still has some humanity left in it. A great example is the book Watchers by Dean Koontz. One of the antagonists is a brutal monster, but it still feels some... the only word I can describe it with is "Humanity".
