corporeal

Of the flesh

Corporeal means having a physical body or material form.

It contrasts with spiritual, mental, or imaginary: Angels are not corporeal beings.

The word appears in legal and philosophical contexts to distinguish tangible property from intangible rights, or bodily existence from the realm of ideas.

The ghost took corporeal form.
