is plus --, the suffix for a concrete thing resulting from the root: a being, something that exists. The same suffix turns into o for food and into for a piece of news, and it is the fastest way to get a solid noun out of an abstract root. Keep it apart from o, which is existence as an abstract quality rather than a thing you could meet. In ordinary prose covers any living creature, human or not, and it is the word you want for the aliens, the monsters and the animals of a story alike.
