It's "criatura" If you are trying to write it in Spanish

La Real academia española lists "creatura" as a synonym of criatura

It's not synonym, cult means that the "correct" way to write it is "criatura". Is in the index because the RAE acknowledge that "creatuta" exists as a word.

cult. just means "creatura" is closer to Latin creatūra. Also, as far as I know, the RAE doesn't list any misspellings. I'd take them acknowledging it exists as a word to be enough for it to count as "proper" Spanish.

I didn't say is a misspelling. There's a reason why the RAE page have all the definitions and synonyms in the "criatura" page (that dosen't include "creatura") while "creatura" only links to the correct spelling "criatura".

There may be a specific reason she writes it that way. For example, to reference creación. Don't be so hasty.
