supernatural creatures
Beings beyond nature
Supernatural creatures are beings from myth, folklore, religion, or fiction that exist beyond natural laws—ghosts, vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, and the like.
The phrase covers any entity whose existence defies scientific explanation: The film featured an array of supernatural creatures.
Horror and fantasy genres rely heavily on such beings, though belief in them predates fiction.
