Animals and monsters
Creatures is the plural of creature—living beings, especially animals.
The word often implies something wild, unfamiliar, or fantastical: strange creatures of the deep, mythical creatures.
It can refer to humans when emphasizing their nature or condition: We are social creatures, creatures of habit.
With a possessive, it suggests someone under another's control: The king and his creatures.
