Enemies vs. Creatures

[Drake Leonclaw 0]

So This isn't really a question so much as a request for clarification. I once saw murmured on the forums that there's a difference between the enemies you encounter on cards, and the enemies you encounter on spaces (the sentinel, the bandits in the woods, the farmer). Someone described the latter as being "creatures" as opposed to "enemies" like the former. Is this true? Is there a distinction in the game between Enemies and Creatures? because that would be a large factor in how many characters' special abilities work.

Red box, page 10:

"An “Enemy” is any Adventure Card with the
word “Enemy” in the card type box.

A “creature” is any encounter (other than
a character) that attacks with Strength or
Craft. This may include Enemy cards and
also Events, Strangers, Places, Spells, and
board spaces."
