A quick definition of creature:

Term: CREATURE

Definition: A creature is another word for an animal. It can also refer to something that only exists because a law was created to make it exist, like a government agency or doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A creature is another word for an animal. It refers to any living being that is not a plant or a human.

Example: A lion is a creature that lives in the wild. It is a type of animal that is known for its strength and hunting abilities.

CREATURE OF STATUTE: This term refers to a doctrine, governmental agency, or other entity that only exists because of a legislative act. For example, a government agency that regulates the use of pesticides would be considered a creature of statute because it was created by a law passed by the government.

Example: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a creature of statute. It was created by the U.S. government to enforce laws related to environmental protection. Without the legislative act that brought it into being, the EPA would not exist.

The examples illustrate the definition of creature as an animal, and the concept of creature of statute as an entity that only exists because of a law. The lion is an example of a creature because it is a type of animal, while the EPA is an example of a creature of statute because it is a government agency that only exists because of a law passed by the government.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
