A '''creeper''' is a [[MCD:Mob#hostile|hostile mob]] that can be found within the various {{MCD|mission}}s of ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]''. When within melee range, it will quickly run at the player before exploding.

Creepers can also spawn during [[MCD:Night Mode|night mode]], regardless of the [[MCD:Mission Select|mission]], when at least one hero dies in multiplayer.

== Behavior ==
Creepers become passive if an {{MCD|ocelot}} is nearby. They also run away if they are currently being attacked by an ocelot.

;Ignition
When within range of a target, creepers ignite themselves, which also increases their movement speed. After 1.5 seconds, it will explode to deal heavy damage to heroes within the explosion's radius.
