magical creature
Enchanted mythical being
A magical creature is a being from mythology, folklore, or fantasy that possesses supernatural powers or properties—dragons, unicorns, fairies, werewolves.
The term appears most often in fantasy fiction and games, where such creatures inhabit imaginary worlds: The forest was home to all manner of magical creatures.
Children's stories and role-playing games have made the phrase a standard category.
