Creature

A creature is a living being, usually referring to animals, but sometimes including humans in a general sense. It is often used for unusual or unknown animals, such as “mythical creatures” in stories or “sea creatures” in the ocean. The word can also describe vulnerable or dependent beings, as in “a poor creature.” Creature highlights the idea of life, nature, and existence. People also use it in literature and fantasy to describe strange beings, combining imagination with real animals. From everyday pets to imaginary monsters, creatures represent all living forms.
