creature ～動けないと駄目～

animal つながりで、creature をひいてみた。

1 a living thing, real or imaginary, that can move around, such as an animal: The dormouse is a shy, nocturnal creature. respect for all living creatures strange creatures from outer space

animal は実在の生き物だけで、creatureは想像上の生き物も可なのね。そんで動けるのがポイントだから、想像上の歩ける植物はどうなんだ？　それはもう植物じゃないか…。
dormouse はヤマネ。nocturnal(夜行性)はともかく、シャイだったのか。shyって言葉の定義が違うのかも？

2 (especially following an adjective) a person, considered in a particular way: You pathetic creature! She was an exotic creature with long red hair and brilliant green eyes. He always goes to bed at ten?he’s a creature of habit (= he likes to do the same things at the same time every day).

これは「あいつはそういうイキモノだから～」みたいな。
