Creature's List

Creatures

Werewolves

Werewolves are humans that will turn into a feral wolf-like creature under a full moon, though after the averted Apocalypse werewolves were reported to have been turning during half-moons. Werewolves are essentially id brought to the forefront of the mind -- whatever subconscious desires, fears or hatred a werewolf felt as a human can lead to violent action when they transform. When a werewolf transforms, the human typically blacks out and is unaware of any of their actions; it keeps mostly human features only sprouting fangs and claws, with their eyes turning yellow and wolf-like. The transformation also comes with some enhanced abilities such as speed, strength, stamina as well as senses. There are also two different classes of werewolves; those which were born as werewolves and thus have better control over themselves when they change, and those that are bitten. If a "bitten" is infected by a werewolf within four generations of a pureblood, like a pureblood they too will have better control over their transformations; being able to transform before, during and after the lunar cycle as well as not blacking out.

Werewolves prefer to feed on the hearts of their victims, if the human has any control over the werewolf they can survive on animal hearts, however, if the werewolf feeds on a human heart it will increase the difficulty to not attack humans. Werewolves have a weakness to silver, contact with it is uncomfortable and can cause their flesh to burn. Killing a werewolf simply requires piercing its heart with silver.

Vampires

Vampires are immortal creatures that are created when a human ingests vampiric blood (or gets the blood into an open wound), the transformation is only completed when the infected first feeds, until that point the process is reversible if the person is aware of the cure and able to get the blood of its maker. However, if the transformation is complete the newly created vampire will suffer from bloodlust and need to regularly feed on blood; either from a human, animal or through blood bags. Vampires retain their human appearance, except for a row of retractable teeth, which they use to rip the throats of their victims. They also have enhanced senses allowing them to see in pitch black darkness, and once a vampire gets your scent it will have it for life. Vampires also mate for life and tend to live in nests of eight to ten members, with smaller packs of three to four being sent out to hunt, victims can be kept alive for days while being fed on. All vampires also have a psychic connection to the Alpha Vampire, even if they have not yet fed and fully turned. By 2006, vampires had been hunted to the point of near extinction, by 2011/2012 their numbers have increased significantly due in part to the machinations and arrival of Eve on Earth.

Most folklore on vampires is false, as they are not affected by garlic or silver, cannot be killed with a wooden stake to the heart or burst into flames when they come into contact with the sun; though vampire eyes are sensitive to ultraviolet light, and prolonged exposure will leave them with a nasty sunburn. Vampires are vulnerable to dead man's blood, which will give a paralyzing effect and cause any wounds to heal at a slower rate. Burning saffron, skunk's cabbage and trillium will also block your scent when confronting vampires. The only way to kill a vampire is through decapitation. However, vamptonite -- the blood of humans that have ingested the Leviathan food additive, works as a poison against vampires, once injected or ingested the blood will instantly kill the vampire.

Witches

Witchcraft is a practice of magic that encompasses many different types of activities including astrology, divination, spell casting, and spirit communication. It includes the practices of many cultures, nations and religions as well as many books and writings from ancient times. Depending upon the individual, some witches practice their power by certain belief systems, such as hoodoo, voodoo, wicca, or any number of other magical practices from countries and cultures all around the world. Although the majority of witches are portrayed as being malevolent men and women who use their powers for dark and sinister deeds, other witches, such as Nora Havelock, have proven that not all witches are satanic, and commonly use white magic to maintain balance within the world.

Angels

Angels are powerful celestial beings of light created by God to serve as his attendants and messengers, but also as his soldiers and warriors in any war. They are native to Heaven and are imbued with considerable power.

Angels are one of the most powerful entities in the world, generally outclassing all demons, monsters, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures with the exception of the Leviathans, The Antichrist, Eve, The Horsemen, The Darkness, and God himself.

Demons

Demons are malevolent spirits created by Lucifer. They are created from corrupted human souls that have endured extensive torture in Hell by demons. In this process, they become corrupted, extremely evil, and also very powerful. Similar to Angels, they require a Vessel to walk the earth, though are able to roam in their smoke form.

Hellhounds

The Hellhound, also known as the Black Dog or the Bearer of Death, is an amortal supernatural spirit with pyrokinetic and thermokinetic abilities who possesses the bodies of humans upon being reborn on Earth in order to complete their destined missions. It is said to be the guardian of the supernatural world, and it is their duty to make sure this world remains a secret to the human world no matter what. They are neither good nor evil, being utterly neutral and focused only on their "natural" duty.According to folklore and legend, the vessel of the Hellhound often has no idea who they are.

Because the Hellhound is a creature of the night, the transformation into their Hellhound form usually happens after nightfall, during which point it typically completely takes over its human host, repressing the host's spirit until their job is done for the evening. The transformation has thus far been shown to be a sort of blackout, where the person usually has no memories of what they did while the Hellhound was in control.

Banshees

Banshees are creatures with ties to fairy lore. Banshees can be either benevolent creatures warning people of their impending deaths or malevolent targeting the vulnerable to feed on. Malevolent banshees take on the form of a pale female with hollow eyes and dark flowing hair, dressed in bloody robes. Banshees are capable of traveling through mist, but are best known for their cry. Where a benevolent banshee will use it as a warning of coming death, a malevolent one will use a piercing scream to drive their victim mad by forcing them to bash their skulls in to relieve themselves of the sound.

Banshees are vulnerable to certain types of spells, they can be banished with one type and trapped with a special Celtic trinity knot sigil. The only method of killing a banshee is to pierce its heart with a gold blade.

Wendigos

Wendigos are people who turned to cannibalism for survival; they are slender, pale, hairless, can be hundreds of years old, are armed with long claws, and have the ability to mimic human voices. Many cultures believed consuming human flesh could give a person abilities such as speed, strength and immortality. The constant consumption of human flesh over the years will eventually transform the person into a wendigo, giving it all those abilities but saddled with an insatiable hunger. Wendigos will hibernate for years at a time, but when it is awake it will store their victims and keep them alive to feed on whenever it wants.

A wendigo can be kept at bay by drawing Anasazi protection symbols, silver will also cause harm to it, but won't kill it. The only way to kill a wendigo is through immolation.

Kanimas

Like the wolf, its power is greatest at the moon’s peak.Like the wolf, the Kanima is a social creature but where the wolf seeks a pack the Kanima seeks a master.

The Kanima, a weapon of vengeance, is used to carry out the bidding of its master. The Kanima was once used by a South American priest who took it upon himself to rid his village of all murderers. The bond between master and servant grew stronger until the will of the master became that of the Kanima's and whomever the priest deemed unworthy, the Kanima served his vengeance.The Kanima is a mutation of the werewolf gene that cannot fully transform until it resolves that in its past which manifest it.

Kitsunes

Kitsunes are humanoid monsters, that are known as a type of supernatural fox that can shapeshift into a human in Japanese mythology. When attacking, they are able to change the appearance of their eyes to resemble a fox's, and are also able to sprout long black claws from their hands. Kitsunes feed on the pituitary gland of their victims, though it possible for them to survive of off glands harvested from a dead body, if a kitsune falls ill it will need to feed on fresh pituitary glands, otherwise it will risk death. A kitsune can be killed by simply stabbing it in the heart.

Leviathans

Leviathans were the first beasts created by God, they were created long before angels or man came to be, and were incredibly powerful and clever beings. Leviathans were primordial creatures from the sea, that through evolution, became able to possess other creatures to survive on land. They also possessed an insatiable hunger, and God, fearing they would consume the whole of creation locked them away in Purgatory until they were released by the angel Castiel. The number of Leviathans that escaped Purgatory is unknown, they were however, able to infiltrate high levels of business once on Earth. Leviathans have the ability to shapeshift and regenerate from any wounds, as well as overpower and kill angels with little effort. However, Leviathans have a rigid hierarchy, with Dick Roman having been their leader presumably since creation, if the leader should fall they are effectively rendered aimless in their goals, seeking only to satiate their hunger.

Leviathans have few weaknesses, one of those being the compound sodium borate, or borax, which acts as a type of acid to the Leviathans. However, the effects are only temporary, but long enough to allow for decapitation. Once the head is removed, it must be kept away from the Leviathan, otherwise, it will attach itself back to the body. The only methods to truly kill a Leviathan involve either one eating the other, "bibbing" (autocannibalism), or stabbing one with a bone of a righteous mortal that has been bathed in the three bloods of the fallen; which are a fallen angel, the ruler of fallen humanity (King of Hell), and the father of fallen beasts (an Alpha). However, this weapon has the side effect of pulling anyone close to the dying Leviathan back to Purgatory with it.

Shapeshifters

Shapeshifters have the ability to change their physical form, allowing them to look like anyone living, dead or fictional. Typically a shapeshifter needs to shed it's skin when it transforms, the speed of which the shedding happens can vary from shifter to shifter, however Sam and Dean Winchester have encountered shapeshifters that do not need to shed their skin and are able to transform instantaneously, much like the Alpha Shapeshifter. Unlike most monsters that are driven by their hunger, shapeshifters appear to have purely human drives that can range anywhere from jealousy to greed. Shapeshifters can be identified by the retinal flares they give off on videos, they have a weakness to silver which is deadly to them if pierced through the heart.

Hybrids

Hybrids are a mixed of two or more creatures, the normally then can possess the powers of both creatures and also then have the weaknesses of both creatures. Hybrid tend to have more power than most creatures but they still don't have the power that angels and leviathans possess.

Skinwalkers

Shapeshifters have the ability to change their physical form, allowing them to look like anyone living, dead or fictional. Typically a shapeshifter needs to shed it's skin when it transforms, the speed of which the shedding happens can vary from shifter to shifter, however, some shapeshifters they do not need to shed their skin and are able to transform instantaneously, much like the Alpha Shapeshifter. Unlike most monsters that are driven by their hunger, shapeshifters appear to have purely human drives that can range anywhere from jealousy to greed. Shapeshifters can be identified by the retinal flares they give off on videos, they have a weakness to silver which is deadly to them if pierced through the heart.

Humans

Humans are mortal beings that populate the planet Earth. God considers them his greatest creations.

Each human has a soul, and, upon their death, will face judgment to determine where their soul will go in the afterlife. Those who have broken God's laws and/or lived a life of evil are likely to be sent to Hell for punishment, while most others will find eternal solace in Heaven. While punishment in Hell is stated on several occasions to be eternal, humans can be redeemed from Hell by angels.

Hunters

They usually are just typical humans who, unlike others, believe in supernatural beings and, even more, they fight against them to protect normal people from harm. One of the most recurring reasons to go into the hunter lifestyle is a tragedy in their lives that involved the supernatural. However, there are other reasons to decide being a supernatural hunter, such as being raised as one.

It is also shown that supernatural hunters typically pass their knowledge onto their children, as they could be killed by supernatural creatures that look for revenge or could appear. When they do so, a family of supernatural hunters is formed.
