Supernatural beings were wild animals of the World of Narnia who did not follow scientific and/or natural laws. Often they were thought to exist beyond the realm of "living" and therefore, it's not possible to say if they were dead or alive. Their supernatural abilities were often called "magic".
This page is to be treated as a masterpost of the supernatural beings for both the Chronicles and all the adaptations.

- Deity: There are several sorts of "deities" that appear and are mentioned in the Chronicles. However, not all are worshipped or immortal and some may be abstract entities. For more information, see Category:Deities.

- Hag: Hags were followers of the Jadis, and helped to bind Aslan to the Stone Table. A Hag later attempted to bring back the ghost of the Witch through sorcery. She had a "shrill, whining voice", and called herself a "poor old woman". Her nose and chin stick out "like a pair of nut-crackers", and she had dirty grey hair.
- Hamadryad: Wood spirits similar to dryads, but use their own trees to assume a body resmbling a human form, Lewis describes a birch hamadryad as having "a soft, showery voice and would look like a slender girl, with hair blown all about her face, and fond of dancing" and an oak hamadryad as looking like "a wizened, but hearty old man with a frizzled beard and warts on his face and hands, and hair growing out of the warts". A whole swarm of hamadryads dance sleepily around Lucy and Aslan when they are reunited. Lewis states that hamadryads usually eat a variety of soils, such as loam or bits of silver sand and the like.

- Jinn: Jinni are evil demonic creatures. They interbred with giants and from these unions came the race of Charn, whom Jadis is descended from.

- Naiads: Spirits of the rivers, lakes, wells, and streams. They were led by their father and leader known simply known as River God. When a stone bridge was built over a river, the naiads in it were imprisoned in the river. They were capable of marrying human men and women and able to sire human children.
- Nymph: Spirits that live in trees and waters, they were capable of leaving their tree or watery domains and assuming a physical body resembling human form. This term is usually used for female Dryads, Hamadryads, and Naiads.

- Spectre: Followers of Jadis.

- Sprite: Followers of Jadis.
- Star: Stars resemble "glittering people, all with long hair like burning silver and spears like white-hot metal." Centaurs study their dances and constellations and it was possible for a star to fall from grace, set to perform a menial task until Aslan permitted it to rise once more, see for example Coriakin. It is also possible for a star to become too old and in these instances, it needed to eat fire-berries from the sun to regain its youth, see for example Ramandu.
T
- Treant: Treants were one of the largest wood gods and goddesses who use their trees as their physical bodies. Lewis doesn't specify whether they are the same as any of the other spirits or a unique species. They are described as beautiful giants and giantesses who have branch-like hair and fingers. They have roots for feet and wade in the earth like humans do in water. During the Hundred Years' Winter, many tree spirits turned evil and joined the White Witch's side, however generations later, a whole swarm of trees dance sleepily around Lucy and Aslan when they are reunited, and even aid the Old Narnian Army in defeating the Telmarines.

- Witch: There were two named witches in the Chronicles. Jadis, the White Witch, was said to be descended from Giants and Jinns. Then the Lady of the Green Kirtle can transform into a snake. An Owl said of the Green Witch that "at the very beginning, a White Witch came out of the North and bound our land in snow and ice for a hundred years. And we think this may be some of the same crew."
