but they can be killed and they respawn, so maybe not? some part of the guid stays the same?

there are three kinds of ids attached to creatures at runtime, the entry, the guid, and the spawn id / db guid.
The entry is the reference to `creature_template` (`Creature::GetEntry`)
The spawn id / db guid is the persistent id used in the `creature` table (`Creature::GetSpawnId`)
The guid (sometimes called "map guid" or "map id") is a temporary thing used to track the creature in the world, **this is not persistent** (`Creature::GetGUID`)

temporary summons do not have a spawnId, of course
