fantasy creature

Dragon or unicorn

A fantasy creature is an imaginary being from mythology, folklore, or fiction—dragons, unicorns, elves, griffins, and the like.

The term distinguishes these invented species from real animals: The game lets you fight fantasy creatures like orcs and trolls.

Fantasy creatures populate role-playing games, novels, and films, often with codified traits and abilities.
