    If you look up the definition for an Object, it specifies that it is “a nonliving, distinct thing” — such as a corpse.

    However, the definition of Creature does not say it must be living. So, a corpse is both a creature and an object.

    There are even creatures that have never been living — such as constructs — and thus are also objects.

      I think nonliving creatures may be more specific versions of objects then, since I couldn’t find any reference of creatures not being considered objects (because who would even say that, it should be obvious if you use your brain), but it also means that if a spell or ability only allows you to target or create objects and has no specification in regards to creatures, undead and constructs are valid targets by RAW.
