Creature Skateboards is a premier skateboard brand under NHS, Inc., known for its darker side aesthetic, featuring horror-themed graphics, creature imagery, and raw, lurking energy. Originally founded in 1994 by Russ Pope and Darren Navarrette, the brand went on hiatus before being revived in 2005 under NHS.

Creature specialises in durable, often wider, 7-ply North American maple decks designed for strength, stability, and heavy use. The range also includes wheels, apparel, and accessories, built for aggressive transition, pool, and street skating.

The brand is recognised for its grunge, horror, and racy visual style—dragons, devils, skeletons, and other twisted artwork—often created by artists like Todd Bratrud. Deck technology includes VX construction for added strength and reduced weight, Everslick bases for enhanced slide, and Stumps with shorter wheelbases for quicker response.

Creature’s Fiends team is known for a gritty, fast, and heavy approach to skating, including Milton Martinez, David Gravette, Al Partanen, Kevin Baekkel, and Willis Kimbel.
