Um the only thing I can think of is Beauty and the beast where the beast is some other type of monster- imagine him as a gorgon who turns people to stone, beauty finds him while searching for her father, finding him in the garden, a statue overgrown with roses and there's awkward hi jinks that ensue from beauty trying to find a cure/forming a relationship with a beast she can't even look at

Or combined with Selkie mythology, the beast is stuck on land cause his pelt was stolen by a fairy

And so on
