Sneak: you’re right, that’s a problem. (Besides, we already have “the dead” tag for beings like Sai, who are human dead people, while, say, the Negative Spirit from Doom Patrol would go under the “nonhumans” tag!)
Aliens, robots, animals, and anthropomorphic animals all feel pretty safe categories, but then you’ve got a whole bunch of fantasy creatures (griffins, mermaids), religious beings(?) (angels, demons, gods, lwa...), and I am stumped as to what catch-all term would work! All of them run into similar problems as the spirit one you just mentioned with Sai!
