Clash of the Titans also is famous for it's "Kraken." In the Perseus myth, this monster is actually referred to as Cetus [from the Greek "Ketos"] and was slain by Perseus in order to save his future wife, Andromeda.* Naturally, the myth is outlined on Wikipedia.
Below are the depictions of the Cetus/ Kraken from COT. Tomorrow I'll post some ancient art and fine art interpretations of the beast.
*[I'll post depictions of actual Krakens later - FTR, Krakens are usually depicted in art as giant Octopi and are more of a Norwegian/ Icelandic origin.]
