The Creatures were a group of video game commentators and Machinima Respawn directors on YouTube that had often worked together for Let's Plays and assorted commentaries. Besides collaborative videos, they all also have solo videos.

The Creatures began as a loose group of video game commentators on YouTube, playing together in games and making videos together. While the term "Creature," used to describe members of the group, was originally used very freely, ten members became recognized as the core Creatures. They were:

After making the decision to become a more focused group, Chilled and Junkyard were removed from the group (Chilled left because he disagreed with the group's plans of becoming a business and Junkyard was ousted because the others felt that, as a family man, he should rely on his real job for income rather than YouTube, which may not provide enough on its own). In February of 2012, most of the group moved to Colorado near Kootra, launching their group channel, the Creature Hub . In November 2012, Gassy was removed from the group, as he had grown apart from the others and was seen as not contributing enough to the group's work. Since then, two new members have been added to the group: At RTX 2013, ImmortalHD was made an official Creature, and at the same event the next year, Dexter Manning was added to the group. After the addition of Dex, Sly left the group amicably in order to move back home with his family and put more work into his own channel. At PAX the same year, GoldenBlackHawk was brought into the group after much fan demand (he would later leave due to wanting to work solo). Seamus would also leave the group in mid-2015 due to personal issues and wanting to work solo again. Together, the group had worked on such projects as Creature Talk (their weekly podcast), Supercast (a live action series), Tr4pville (a Machinima series based on Borderlands, and many others, including various gameplay series.

In late March 2016, The Creatures joined Rooster Teeth. It had the somewhat unintended result of making over half of the members quit, due to their increased interest in solo projects (Sp00n, Dexter & Kevin), had stopped collaborating with the team and used the event to make it official (Sp00n and Ze, who both collaborated more with other groups than other Creatures) or they were working on projects that were not suited for the Creature Hub (James and Aleks with CowChop). On July 13th, 2017, Kootra formally announced the end of the Creatures after the aftermath of YouTube's Ad-pocalypse and declining viewerships since joining Rooster Teeth.
