corporeal form
Tangible bodily presence
Corporeal form refers to a physical body—the tangible, material shape something takes in the world.
The phrase appears most often in religious, philosophical, or fantasy contexts where spirits, deities, or abstract entities might assume flesh: The ghost took corporeal form to interact with the living.
It contrasts with incorporeal or spiritual existence.
