The Creeper (クリーパー, Creeper) is a hostile mob found in Minecraft. It is considered the game's mascot, and one of its most iconic aspects among players and non-players alike.
Origin
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.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As a moveset element
Several Creepers appear in House of Boom, heading towards the victim before exploding. Their explosions combined with the TNT laying around seems to be what causes the titular "boom".
As a costume
A Creeper appears in Round 7 of DLC as a paid Mii Brawler costume. To match the Mii Brawler's model, the Creeper is given a more humanoid appearance with distinct arms and legs.
Spirit
A Creeper spirit appears as part of the Minecraft DLC spirit board.
Other
A single Creeper appears in the cinematic portion of Steve's reveal trailer, blowing up behind Mario as Steve flees.
Trivia
- In the Creeper's trailer, the photo of it standing next to a lightning bolt is a reference to it being struck by lightning to turn it into a charged creeper.
