The Ymir

Though never specifically named in 1957’s 20 Million Miles to Earth, the creature which became known as the Ymir stole every scene (and bag of sulfur) it was in. This is due to Ray Harryhausen’s ability to make his creations not only look and move with life-like grace but also to inject them with a strange aura of humanity.
