Note
A regular -s plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it. Most often it names animals, monsters or aliens, as in deep-sea creatures. Applied to people it can sound dismissive, so watch the tone. It can also mean followers wholly dependent on a patron (someone's creatures), and, less commonly, created things of any kind, living or not.
