immortal beings

Never-dying creatures

Immortal beings are entities that live forever or cannot die—gods, angels, vampires, and other figures from mythology, religion, and fantasy.

The phrase emphasizes their contrast with mortals: The immortal beings watched centuries pass while humans lived and died below.

In philosophical contexts, immortal beings may include souls believed to persist after bodily death.
