Default Those Elusive Christian Creatures

Angels - Generally invisible, rare appearances to select few. Guardian varieties are common, but despite that, are unseen, unheard etc.

Afterlife - Only verifiable after death, feeds on fear of death (or love of life) of oneself and loved ones.

Heaven - Invisible, only verifiable after death. Supposedly highly beneficial to humans, this peaceful creature feeds on fear of death of oneself, loved ones (and sometimes the hopes of reward for moral and altruistic deeds???).

Hell - Invisible, only verifiable after death. This carnivorous, voracious creature feeds on revenge, sanctimony and fear of dissent.

Jesus - Inhabits remote ancient accounts, but apparently still thrives despite a vivid account of its extinction.

Prayer - ESP-like creature (See chapter 42 on New Age fauna) although not directly related to ESP, an excellent example of convergent evolution. Prayer's main characteristic is one-way communication with an invisible being(s). Considered to be thought-transmission with associated vocalizations. While the louder calls of this creature may be heard in various church environments, more silent varieties tend to be nocturnal, with a soothing effect before bedtime.

Satan - Invisible, only verifiable after death, feeds on natural sources of bad things, immoral humans.

God - Invisible, but mysteriously infesting humans (although most enjoy its presence). It relies on particular humans as intermediaries, for the purpose of mass breeding. Some modern abstract varieties feed more on intellectual sophistry, generally avoiding superstitious and fundamentalist areas.

Miracles - Present day miracles are always furtive and subtle, easily mistaken for coincidence and natural causes. Most often quite small in size, but there is unverified evidence of giant varieties in ancient times.

Holy Bible - Here is one Christian species that we have in captivity. Numerous varieties have been thoroughly dissected and it is known to be the ancestor of all the above. Semi-domesticated varieties can often be seen nesting in hotel drawers.
