That´s interesting so according to this thread creatura would be creature in the sense of a created thing. - BellaMargarita, Jan 28, 2011

yes, but nobody uses that word in Argentina. It´s ¨la criatura de Frankestein¨ - mediterrunio, Jan 28, 2011

No es en español que se usa, sino en inglés. A creature... En español criatura se usa para referirse a un bebé o niño. - gone, Jan 28, 2011

Answer 2

Like many other things in Latin America, the language keeps ancient traits alive, while in Spain they have changed. A similar thing happened in Spain, where many classical Latin terms were kept while in Italy (and even France) disappeared and were replaced with newer ones. In Spain practically no one uses "creatura", but its use is widely documented in formal Spanish in other countries, so it is a word as Spanish as any other one.

Answer 3

Criatura es relativo a un niño o un bebe y proviene de "criar". Si se dijera "crEatura" la definición vendría -como ya lo mencionaron antes-, de la palabra inglesa "creature".

Answer 4

According to the rae, they are the same thing.

Answer 5

Estrictamente hablando, monstruo es monster No he oido decir creature así La defincion principal de creature es cualquier seres animada especialmente los animales no humanos.
