[edit] A-C
- Astrids
- Large golden owls wit human faces featured only briefly in the third book. It is said by Ruth (Grandma) Sorenson that they are very mysterious, and that little is known about them. Kendra saw one during the time between visits to the preserve, between books 1 and 2. Seth may have also seen one in book 2, without having drunk the milk. It was in the appearance of a regular golden owl, but he knew it was not what it appeared.
- Blixes
- Magical beings in human form that can exert power over others through a bite. The three blixes explained in Rise of the Evening Star are Viviblix - who can temporarily reanimate the dead, Narcoblix - who can control the actions of others while they are sleeping, and Lectoblix - who age quickly, and survive by draining the youth of others. Vanessa, in books 2 and 3, is a Narcoblix and bites others in their sleep in an attempt to overthrow the preserve. She is thwarted and put in the Quiet Box to keep her from controlling those she had bitten.
- Brownies
- Brownies are creatures that look like humans, with the exception that they are much smaller. Brownies fix things that are broken, improving them where possible. Also, when ingredients are left out, they will bake a delicious food, although they always attempt to make it into a dessert. It is mentioned by Ruth (Grandma) Sorenson in the second book that brownies invented the well-known, delicious dessert, brownies, which is how they got their name. In the first book, when goblins and other unfriendly creatures from Fablehaven raid and wreck the house on Midsummer's Eve, the brownies repair it in an unbeleivably short amount of time. In the second book, Kendra and Seth have to pass through the Brownie community to get inside the house. In book three, the brownies become affected by the shadow plague and fill the house with deadly traps.
- Centaur
- Strong and intelligent beings that are part horse, and part man. The Centuars have only played a role in the third book. They are portrayed as being very prideful. The three centaurs mentioned in the book are Stormbrow, Cloudwing, and Broadhoof. The character Seth insults Broadhoof in an attempt to have him lead a diversion assault. Because of this, Broadhoof says that Seth owes him a duel. Patton Burgess takes the place of Seth in this duel, which he wins. Broadhoof is later killed in Kurisock's domain in a desperate struggle between light and shadow.
- Cyclops
- A one eyed giant. In Rise of the Evening Star, Vanessa and Errol had to get past one guarding the artifact in the inverted tower. A Cyclops also appears at the final battle between dark and light creatures in Grip of the Shadow Plague.

- Demon
- One of the most powerful magical creatures, demons are often the villains in The Fablehaven series. Several demons are mentioned in the series. They are:
- Bahumat - A monster that stands three times as tall as a man, with the head of a dragon crowned with three horns. He has three arms, three legs and three tails. He has oily black scales with bristly spikes. He is able to emit a wave of darkness to blind his foes.
- Graulus - An ancient demon who was once one of the most feared demons in the world, but is now long past his prime. He basically made Fablehaven his home to await death. He radiates magical fear, and has the ability to see almost anything on the preserve.
- Lycerna -A gargantuan serpentine demon who has taken over a secret preserve in Brazil.
- Olloch - Also known as Olloch the Glutton. A frog-like monster with several flailing tongues and an insatiable appetite. As he eats, he grows in size and power. In Rise of the Evening Star he grows in size to "much bigger than an elephant".
- Kurisock - A demon more of shadow than substance, perhaps the least is known of him, other than being confined to his layer, which is a cursed tar pit far into the preserve. To interact with the material world he binds himself to a host, giving the host greater power.
- Dragon
- Large, powerful and intelligent winged reptiles. One named Chalize was guarding the artifact room at Lost Mesa in Grip of the Shadow Plague. She was more metallic than usual, with copper scales. It is also discovered that the captive released from the Quiet Box is Navarog, the Dragon Prince.
- Dryads
- Wood Nymphs, who live in the forest and dress in flowing atumnal robes.

- Dullion
- A cruder form of their cousin the golem, made of less quality materials. They are often made of hay and other matter and animated by a powerful spell. The only known one is in the hands of the Society of the Evening Star. It is possible that Mendigo, an human sized, animated wooden puppet, might be considered a Dullion.
- Dwarves
- Short people who live underground and keep to themselves. These stalky little people first appear in book 3 - Grip of the Shadow Plague, where they fled to the pond to avoid the plague. Some of them, wielding large hammers, also fight in the battle between light and dark creatures. A dark hooded dwarf is one of the creatures guarding the artifact in the inverted tower, but he does not make a physical appearance.
- Fairies
- These magical creatures resemble tiny females with wings. They emit a gleaming light, and love their own reflection. The fairies are the first magical creatures Kendra and Seth see on the preserve, and are part of the whole story of Fablehaven more than any other magical creature. The Fairy Queen has a shrine on an island in the preserve, and makes Kendra fairystruck, and one of her handmaidens. With instructions from the Fairy Queen, Kendra makes a potion that enlarges the fairies to human size. In their empowered state the fairies defeat Muriel the witch, and the demon Bahumat.
