Does your antagonist believe in the supernatural?
I dunno who the antagonist(s) even is (are) right now, but that's kind of a trick question, tbh. Magic exists. Strange and magical creatures exist. Things beyond our and their current understanding exist. Fk, I exist and I'm a tiefling. So calling those SUPERnatural implies that they like, exist outside of the natural order or reality as it is. And tbh, if something exists then it is by definition not outside that order.
Okay so maybe I dunno, it is UNnatural, like not a thing that exists without intervention. Driders are a good example. Uhm, hn. Golems. Plastic for sure. Dubstep (jk).
And maybe it's not naturally occuring on the current plane of existence so it's extraplanar, as in from elsewhere or other realities.
But supernatural? Paranormal? They're easy shorthand but tbh they are sort of negated by the existence of things.
