The '''Creeper''' ({{ja|クリーパー|Kurīpā}}, ''Creeper'') is the main antagonist of the popular ''{{s|wikipedia|Minecraft}}'' song parody ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPJUBQd-PNM Revenge]'' from {{s|wikipedia|CaptainSparklez}}.  
The '''Creeper''' ({{ja|クリーパー|Kurīpā}}, ''Creeper'') is a hostile mob found in ''{{s|wikipedia|Minecraft}}''. It is one of the game's mascots, appearing in its logo, and one of its most iconic design aspects.

The Creeper first appears staring directly at the main protagonist of ''Revenge'', as the protagonist is frightened by its appearance and runs away. Despite his effort, another Creeper walks up behind the protagonist and blows up, slightly injuring him as he walks home tired. In revenge (hence the song's name), the protagonist begins crafting a set of full diamond armor and a diamond sword, before walking out to the night, slaying a bunch of Creepers as he runs towards his own mine.
The Creeper is a hostile mob in ''Minecraft'' and spawns in the Overworld when the light level is below 7. The Creeper was accidentally created when the model for a [[Pig]] had its body's height and length mistakenly flipped, resulting in a distinctive four-legged creature with a long torso and no arms. When it notices a [[Steve|player]], the Creeper will move towards it and explode when close enough, creating a small crater; the explosions are one of the most damaging attacks in the game and can potentially kill the player; it also causes significant damage to any nearby structures, such as player-made housing. The Creeper can also explode when the player ignites the Creeper with flint and steel. When hit by lightning, the Creeper becomes charged and deals even more damage with a larger explosion radius, potentially killing the player even with full diamond armor.


The song is notorious for the starting phrase "Creeper, aw man". This meme surged during mid-2019, as various Discord users would try to reply to the lyrics of ''Revenge'' with no avail. The meme would inspire countless others to repeat this meme with other materials, such as another CaptainSparklez's classic ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-sH53vXP2A Fallen Kingdom]''

The Creeper (クリーパー, Creeper) is a hostile mob found in Minecraft. It is one of the game's mascots, appearing in its logo, and one of its most iconic design aspects.

Origin

A Creeper exploding.

The Creeper is a hostile mob in Minecraft and spawns in the Overworld when the light level is below 7. The Creeper was accidentally created when the model for a Pig had its body's height and length mistakenly flipped, resulting in a distinctive four-legged creature with a long torso and no arms. When it notices a player, the Creeper will move towards it and explode when close enough, creating a small crater; the explosions are one of the most damaging attacks in the game and can potentially kill the player; it also causes significant damage to any nearby structures, such as player-made housing. The Creeper can also explode when the player ignites the Creeper with flint and steel. When hit by lightning, the Creeper becomes charged and deals even more damage with a larger explosion radius, potentially killing the player even with full diamond armor.

Killing a Creeper accrues 5 EXP orbs, and it may drop up to two pieces of gunpowder, as well as a random music disc if it is killed by a Skeleton or a Stray. While they usually creep up behind players (hence the name), they can be identified by the distinctive hissing sound they make right before they detonate.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
