I guess the modified sharkos in DBS could be called “creatures”. I also attached a pic of two my favorite characters from the movie.
Creature features I’ve seen (which I remember):
Almost everything on this list: https://the-line-up.com/best-creature-feature-films
And almost all of this list: https://m.imdb.com/list/ls560720658/
Cloverfield, Eight Legged Freaks, Spring (2014), a Korean one I am forgetting but has a monster based twist in it.
I wanna watch the movies in this list, have seen Host: https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts/colossal-essential-korean-giant-monster-movies-9235430
If you disagree with some of these movies as creature features, feel free to say so. For example, I don’t like the inclusion of alien type movies on this list. I think sentient, extraterrestrial beings (even if hostile towards humans) aren’t “creatures” per se.
A good creature for starters, which is seemingly hard to do. You either show the monster and it looks like crap, or you don’t show the monster and rely on the fear of the unknown to do the heavy lifting.
I really like a well done monster that is actually seen on screen. Like The Thing. Or Jeeper Creepers, which actually manages to be a hybrid of all 3. It’s both good and bad looking, and they do a lot of vague not showing things until the end.
I also heavily disagree that aliens are not “creatures.” Intelligent, humanoid aliens with culture and civilization, like the Predator or martians from Mars Attacks aren’t creatures; but a xenomorph and whatever the hell The Thing is sure as hell are creatures.
