===The Menagerie===
There are only two things in The Menagerie and they are better reviewed together.  Your options are the Kraken and the Hydra.  Both are gigantic beasts that cost around the range of 400 points each. They have the same movement and defensive stats, but the Kraken will be harder to hit with distracting and hard target and the Hydra is more survivable with Fortitude (4+).  The Kraken has fewer attacks than the Hydra, but the hits are at strength 7 and multiple wounds (d3).  The Hydra has more attacks at a decent strength and a breath attack to harass nearby enemies.  The choice is up to you which one to run, the Kraken is better at killing big single models, it's a monster hunting monster, the Hydra is better for stomping big units.
