Artist Russ Pope started Creature in 1994 under NHS with horror-influenced graphics. The first run ended after Pope left in the late 1990s.

NHS relaunched Creature in 2005 with art director Lee Charron and pro skater Darren Navarrette. The brand remains known for dark, horror-themed deck graphics and produces maple decks plus related skate hardgoods and apparel.
