Some of the monsters are probably just corupted gems, the gems mimic the denizens they are protecting is a very good theory. But contradicts to the murals found inside the pyramid in "Serious Steven", the murals show what appears to be a battle between The Crystal Gems (specefically Rose) and an unknown Gem, followed by their respective armies. By the logic of the theory above, The Crystal Gems look human in the mural because they protect humans but what about the others? All the Gems dipicted in the mural look human but as you can see the CG are fighting them because they are a threat to humanity and they still look human even though they're not protecting them.

But some might "Hey, Judgekoo, what if they were once guardians of humans but turned evil or got corrupted?" Good question, my answer to that question is with another question, Why retain the human guise? Humans by far are not the most physicaly strong organisms in the planet. The way the humans think, our intelligence, is what makes us strong, and also the ability to show a myriad of emotions. But as we can see, the CGs can feel emotion (to a degree) and their intelligence is far superior from ours (maybe just some, a good example is Pearl, she fixed and upgraded Greg's RV and built a functional spaceship in just hours, granted it blew up right in her face but still . . .). Intelligence, Strength, Intuition, Empathy are just one of many attributes a Gem can have and yet they still remain human-like. They have the potentiality to become whatever they want and yet they still chose to appear human.

And also, if the Monster Gems they fought, do appeare to take on the guise of the things they protect, you'd think they'd transform into something less menacing when on earth as to not appear threatening to humanity and not let their as. . . butts get whooped by CGs.

I'll have to edit it to make Ronaldo appear to be giving a thumbs up.
