creature

1. (sometimes derogatory) A human.Examples: "He's a creature of habit."; "She was like a Beardsley Salome, he had said. And indeed she had the narrow eyes and the high cheekbone of that creature, and as nearly the sinuosity as is compatible with human symmetry."; "According to this saga of intellectual-property misanthropy, these creatures [patent trolls] roam the business world, buying up patents and then using them to demand extravagant payouts from companies they accuse of infringing them. Often, their victims pay up rather than face the costs of a legal battle."derogatorysometimes

2. (now uncommon, religion) A created thing, whether animate or inanimate; a creation.Examples: "Thoughts, my mindes creatures, often are with thee, / But I, their maker, want their libertie."; "the natural truth of God is an artificial erection of Man, and the Creator himself but a subtile invention of the Creature."; "Must not then all understanding Creatures center in their Creator, as in the highest and best of Beings? And must not this Creator then be eſſentially God? What Infatuation then is it, that leads Men to think of a Creature-Creator?"uncommon
