Enchantment creatures are both enchantments and creatures and therefore the rules for both apply to them.
Enchantment creatures were introduced on a futureshifted card in Future Sight: Lucent Liminid.
They later reappeared as a fullfledged mechanic in the Theros set, where they represent the gods themselves [1], and their emissaries (creatures with bestow). The enchantment creatures were highlighted in the following set, which was named after them: Born of the Gods. In his quest to propel himself to godhood, the satyr Planeswalker Xenagos began a series of mystical rituals. These rituals had an unanticipated side effect: the blurring of the lines between the realm of the gods and everyday existence. Creatures that used to dwell exclusively in Nyx began appearing in the mortal world. These beings born of the gods' starry domain are known as the Nyxborn.. [2] [3]
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 just a reminder that these creatures and artifacts are also enchantments. Other enchantments in Theros use the regular card frame. [4]
