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.

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.
The first Jeepers can work as a creature flick. The creeper seems supernatural, but it’s physical and real and has wings and drives a cool old timey murder van.
I say the first film with a vague hand wave though because the director Victor Salva is a convicted pedophile who filled the second movie with scenes of the “creeper” making O faces while watching teenage boys pee.
After you see that, looking back to the first one feels kinda gross. So creature or not it often gets ignored in lists like these cause then you’d have to mention the director.
So I ended up learning about Salva way after seeing the film. That was a weird sour punch in the gut. Feeling like I’d been supporting such a terrible person. I try to separate the art and the outcome from the originator. Because 🤮
