The term "Norsemen" is an archaic way of speaking. Archaic means "of, relating to, or characteristic of an earlier or more primitive time : ANTIQUATED"

Modern English speakers will more likely use "Norse People" and "Norse Men" and "Norse Women."

People mostly still use old terms like "Norsemen" to evoke a feeling of an older time. It's a stylistic choice.

Other examples are "Englishmen" and "Frenchmen," which are both rarely used in modern times. We just say "English People" or "French People."

When it comes to Boogeymen, most English speakers today think of "The Boogeyman" as being only a single entity, not a race. Just like how there's only one Tooth Fairy, one Santa Clause, and one Easter Bunny.

Also the term "Creature" is based of the word "Creation." This is a reference to Judaism and Christianity, where God "created" all the "creatures" of the world. Therefore, any living thing created by God can be considered a "creature," whether human, animal, or monster. Angels and demons are also creatures because God created the angels. Jinn would be creatures as well because in Islam God created them.

Also if you guys need to look at credible sources, Reddit and Dungeons and Dragons are not credible sources.

I highly recommend Meriam Webster, or Etymology Online when looking up English words.

Cheers!
