The state, condition, or status of being a creature; creatureliness or the quality of being created.
From 'creature' plus '-hood' (Germanic -hād, state or condition). This follows parallel formations like 'humanhood' and 'godhood.'
In medieval theology, 'creaturehood' was a serious philosophical term meaning 'the condition of being dependent on God,' but modern English speakers rarely use it because we don't talk about existence in those cosmic dependency terms anymore.
