The Dark Lord, formally known as Lucifer Morningstar, is the first full fledged angel introduced in the series. Angels have also appeared in the form of mortal missionaries to hunt witches.

The Greendale Thirteen tell Sabrina that only the most powerful beings, devils, can summon hellfire, suggesting that they are high-ranking beings in Hell. Lucifer Morningstar, the king of Hell, has been described as a devil. Louis Cypher is a devil who has owned peoples' souls in Rivervale, and has made deals with Percival Pickens and Pop Tate.

Hilda told Sabrina that goblins live in the Greendale Wood.
• Gods — Powerful beings who are worshiped by mortals, witches, and monsters. The creator of humans, angels, and the universe is known only as God and is largely worshiped by humans. Other gods such as the 'Green Man' were worshiped by pagans before God and the Dark Lord. Minor gods linger at the edges of the world. Eostre was a minor goddess who was worshipped by witches before they began worshipping Satan. The Order of Hecate now worships Triple Goddess Hecate.
• Gorgons — Supernatural creatures with the ability to turn their hair into snakes and petrify their enemies, turning them into stone. Nagaina is the only gorgon to appear in the series to date.

Prudence mentions Medusa, though it is unknown if she is a gorgon as well like in greek mythology.

• Oracles - Supernatural individuals with the ability to know the truth and have prophetic predictions. A warlock called Urban Grandier was a warlock who said that the Grandiers were the blood of oracles, he could see that Prudence and Ambrose were standing in front of him without opening his eyes and knew of their mission of revenge without them telling him. He was able to know that Father Blackwood had retreated to a place outside of time and space in order to avoid them. He also says that oracles live in caves.
• Psychopomps - Supernatural beings that carry deceased spirits to the hereafter. When a witch astral-projects, psychopomps gather the longer the duration of the astral projection. They will assume the witch is dead and either carry them off to the hereafter or tattle to the Dweller in the Abyss.

• Vampires — Supernatural creatures with fangs and the ability to compel their prey. Vampires feed and survive on the blood of the living, specifically humans, as feeding on the blood of certain supernaturals can prove hazardous, seen when Vlad the Impaler suffered severe burns when drinking Sabrina's celestial blood. Vlad is the first and only vampire known to date.

• Witches — Supernatural creatures who are born with the power to affect change by magical means. Although the term "warlock" is commonly used to differentiate male witches from female witches, it appears that "witch" is a gender-neutral term that does apply to both men and women. They are classified based on their source of power and beliefs, or if they belong to a coven or not, ie. Satanic or Pagan witches, Hedge witches, Sea or River witches, Wood Witches, etc. Sabrina claims that all powerful disruptive women have the potential to become witches.
