Re: Alien Threats [Space]
There's always the "small swarmers" option, such as the "dopey joes" from Heinlein's Tunnel in the Sky.
If you want more dramatic danger, go with the fliers from Pitch Black.
A marginal movie with some good ideas was Enemy Mine, with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gosset, Jr. In that one, the creatures of the planet had evolved defenses against periodic meteor showers that made them quite dangerous, if only because they hid underground.
2300 AD has some good problematic creatures, as well.
