Aside from the playable characters and minor characters, there are plenty of magical creatures that exist in the world of Deadlock. Many creatures arrived when the Astral Gates opened, some evolved from regular creatures due to the large influx of magic, and some creatures were present on Earth long before the first Maelstrom.

Familiars
Souls
Ghosts
Mole men
Mole Men were created by the influx of magic from the first Maelstrom, evolving from regular moles into mole men. A portrait of mole men's evolution can be seen in the Hideout.
Mo is a known mole man. While Mo is mute outside of grunting during his ult, Krill implies that Maurice can speak normally.[1][2]
Mole men are known to be strong,[3][4] having the ability to dig through concrete with ease.[5]
Vampires
Vampires existed on Earth long before the first Maelstrom.[6] Most vampires live in their own society, known as "The Vampire Nation," which Drifter describes as a "Ponzi Scheme."[7] They follow their own laws and traditions.[8]
Known vampires include Drifter and Mina. Drifter has been a vampire for centuries,[9] while Mina has been a vampire for less than 5 years.[10]
Deadlock's vampires seem to possess similar abilities to many vampires in fiction, such as immortality/eternal youth.[11] Additionally, both Mina and Drifter express control over blood (as both use it as ammunition for their weapons.)
The older vampires, also known as "vampire elders,"[12] hold their archiac titles in high regard, which Drifter considers "soft."[13]
The Vampire Nation doesn't care about human clout, as Mina is at the bottom of the vampiric social ladder despite her wealth and fame.[14][15]
Vampires seem unwilling to turn humans into vampires, as it cost Mina's parents a small fortune to find a single vampire willing to turn Mina.[16]
Vampires are a protected species in America,[17] although the Venators of the Vatican are known for hunting vampires.[18][19] The vampire elders and viscounts want Drifter dead for his refusal to follow their laws.[20]
Zephyrs
Also known as "wind spirits", zephyrs are used to power airships for public travel, although there are concerns about putting people's safety in the hands of zephyrs.[21] Holliday refuses to use airships.[22] Zephyr powered airships are used instead of aeroplanes.[23]
Mentioned creatures
Loch Ness Monster
Also known as "Nessie", the Loch Ness Monster came to Earth through the Astral Gate in The Deep.[24]
Rats
While not a traditionally magical creature, the rats of New York were enhanced by the Maelstrom, causing them to become even more difficult to deal with.[25]
Werewolves
Werewolf meat is currently a popular cuisine in France, causing controversy in New York over whether or not it's cannibalism.[26]
Yetis
There is a yeti who's part of the "Yukon Lumberjack Show," who's entertained Canadian audiences for years and are going on tour to America.[27]
