A fanciful creature is one that is not mundane. Fanciful creatures include the megabeasts, the powerful demons, and "merely" magical creatures such as werewolves and fairies. Fanciful creatures can appear in engravings and other works of art. Some fanciful creatures will spawn in certain biomes; fairies are common in good areas, and sasquatches can be seen occasionally in savage mountainous regions. Others can appear only in special circumstances. Examples of these are some of the targets of quests in adventure mode, or the megabeasts which occasionally attack you in fortress mode.

Fanciful creatures in the game object data are defined by either the [FANCIFUL] or [MAGICAL] tokens.
