Uffff... Clarify with my knowledge of the English language... I'll try.
Subman and subhuman do not fit, it does not fit most creatures of folklore. Subman, subhuman - are people, but more "low-grade", "low-quality". It seems to me, what Eulalia understood correctly. Close in value is a German term "Untermensch". Now he carries a negative connotation. "Neljud" - not people, but should be written together: "notpeople" or "nopeople". However, "not people" can be animals, fish, insects, and "neljud" - a special class of creatures that can occur from the people and have attributes (features) people, but not people. At the famous J. R. R. Tolkien in his magnificent series "The Lord of the Rings" used "neljud", for example, Nazgûls. Alas, I did not read the original (English) J. R. R. Tolkien, so I can't give more examples from there. Folkloric characters, the origin of sending from ancient mythologies (Germanic, Norse, Celtic, and others), were "neljud" or had signs of "neljud". Now, however, primarily due to the fantasy genre, they are essentially "humanize " and already, basically can not be attributed to "neljud".
I apologize for the fact that the post is beyond the scope of this forum and is offtopic . Sorry for incomprehensibility because of hideous knowledge of English.
P.S. Zombie is undead ("negit") and not "neljud". I better be silent.
P.P.S.

Yes. But gist is not the case. I have innate idiosyncrasy (painful reaction of rejection) to any foreign language, so I do not care in what foreign language to write - in English, German, Portuguese, finally, Martian.(Russian?)
