Reaper has a good supply, though player character minis and humanoids dominate their lines GW has a nice amount of monstrous offerings, if pricey. Harlequin has a few D&D flavored monsters. Iron wind metals has a modest amount The Collectable Miniatures Games Mage Knight, Horrorclix, Dreamblade and DDM tend to have better monster palettes, since their sales are driven by collectability, rather than player character mini sales or base unit troop sales.
But overall, non-humanoids seem much harder to find than something of anthropoid outline. So I'll ask, what are some other mini companies that have good selections of non bipedal monsters? |

RAFM's "Call of Cthulhu" line springs to mind. How about the not-HG-Wells-Martians by Paroom Station? |

If you can get your hands on them the starship troopers bugs should fit the bill. |

While rummaging in the singles bin for Mage Knight and D&D minis, don't forget to look in the Star Wars bin. |

but some are really different. |

I'll second the RAFM Call of Cthulhu monsters. Lots of variety, and very useful in many genres, even if you don't stick with the Cthulhu Mythos. |

Are these roughly 25mm scale? |

Which, the Call of Cthulhu monsters? Yes, 25mm-28mm, but many of them are non-humanoid and usable in smaller scales as large monsters. |
