terrestrials
Creatures on ground
Terrestrials are beings or things that belong to Earth, as opposed to celestial or extraterrestrial realms.
In science fiction, terrestrials are us—Earthlings—contrasted with aliens: The terrestrials welcomed their visitors from Mars.
In broadcasting, terrestrials are channels transmitted over land-based towers rather than satellite or cable.
In ecology, terrestrial animals live on land rather than in water or air.
