Enchantment creatures are both enchantments and creatures and therefore the rules for both apply to them.
History
The earliest enchantments that could become a creature as well were Still Life and Testament of Faith from Odyssey and Halcyon Glaze from Ravnica: City of Guilds. The type line Enchantment Creature was then introduced on the futureshifted card in Future Sight called Lucent Liminid.[1] Enchantment Creatures later reappeared as a full-fledged mechanic in the Theros set, where they represent the gods themselves and their creations and emissaries (creatures with bestow).[2] The enchantment creatures were highlighted in the following set, which was named after them — Born of the Gods. These had all global enchantment effects.[3]
The Nyx frame
Enchantment creatures and enchantment artifacts in the Theros block all have a unique card frame that shows the starfield of Nyx. The Nyx frame doesn't have any rules associated with it. It's a reminder that these creatures and artifacts are also enchantments. Other enchantments in Theros use the regular card frame.[4]
