Yes, there are! You currently have -8 creature mods installed. You'll have 2! if you uninstall GIANTS.
Jabbing aside, yes there are. Let me just put together a couple.
Demon Xen's http://mw.modhistory.com/download-4-12807 and http://mw.modhistory.com/download-4-11296.
Lidicus' http://mw.modhistory.com/download-68-7129 http://mw.modhistory.com/download-68-6223.
My http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/22189/?.
Lochnarus' http://mw.modhistory.com/download-24-9620
I'll probably think of some others, just give me some time.
edit:
There's the classic http://firefly.calislahn.com/ by Calislahn
If you don't already have undead there is http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43030/? by Neoptolemus or Antares' http://mw.modhistory.com/download-26-6190.
edit2:
I should also mention the big atmosheric ones by abot: http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43128/? and http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42417/?.
If I remember correctly, http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/6006/? has some creature-like additions, new Dagoth minions and that sort of thing.
Wildman's http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42121/?.
There are also Nazo's Daedra mods, mainly http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/29713/? which adds things like Xivilai.
There's Neoptolemus' Unique Creatures as well.
Thanks I'll check those out. Melchoir are you implying GIANTS is no good?
Yes. I am.
It just has a lot of creatures with quality issues since they're ripped from other games and then others which are just really badly retextured and designed. I do not recommend it.
I don't think anyone really uses GIANTS anymore. It is well know to have problems and some questionable quality.
Don't forget the great mods by Antares:
Various creatures: http://arcimaestroantares.webs.com/antarescreatures.htm
Undead Arise from Death: http://arcimaestroantares.webs.com/undeadmods.htm
Can you elaborate on GIANTS quality? Im using it atm and it seems fine enough. I did come across a dwemer UFO which felt a little wrong though.
Antaras various looks good, is there no merged esp available? Im quite anol about cluttering up my load list.
Many of the people on these forums don't like GIANTS because some of the meshes were allegedly taken from other games.
I rarely play without the following mod:
Cait's Critter's unleashed: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=1695
There are great creature mods using Cait's models here, too:

Great suggestions, Pluto and Dragon. How did I forget to mention Antares' other creature mods? Hah! I'll plug http://download.fliggerty.com/download-26-712 which incorporates some of his creatures into the game better or maybe I should just say differently.
I also provided links for the mods that Dragon mentioned.
Ive checked these two out, they seem pretty much the same. What's the difference between them?
http://download.fliggerty.com/download--679 version of Antares' creatures.
http://mw.modhistory.com/download-26-11406 by Nedius.
http://mw.modhistory.com/download-26-7082 by Sabregirl.
http://mw.modhistory.com/download-44-10098 (more of a tweak of existing creatures, but still).
His undead mods are worth a look, too.
ALL of his mods are worth a look! His guard diversity mods are always in my game.
I just run through my load order to look for any more mods that might be missed. I try to use mostly lore-friendly mods, so there is nothing too exotic.

Thank you for the link
That one looks awesome, thanks
I personally wonder about the compatibility between different undead mods. First that come to mind are of course Arcimaestro's Undead: Arise from death and Neoptolemus' Undead. I suppose they should work fine, but I would like to be certain. Wildman's http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42121/? also look interesting.
They are said to be incompatible. I am not sure about the details. I assume it is because one or the other or both modify things like stats and/or add scripts to vanilla creatures. I think one or both also add spells and abilities to different vanilla undead. I just don't remember, but I've looked at them in the past and actually have a WIP of a merged copy that I've put some work into. I just can't remember the details. I believe that you COULD use them together, you'd just lose some functionality.
There's one thing to thank GIANTS for, without GIANTS, Creatures would not have existed. I tried GIANTS first, then made Creatures...
In addition to mods that add creatures, there are several that update the look of/increase the variety of the vanilla ones...
Westly lives! And is implying he's still modding...?
