Hello Planet Minecraft, This article today is about Creepers so let's take a look at the evolving creeper shall we?

Basics
Why not start with the basics eh? As I'm sure most people are aware the Creeper is a green p**** looking like creature. If you have no idea what a creeper looks like then Where have you been? But i'll show you anyways!

So this little fella above me is a creeper! Now you know what a creeper looks like!
Moving on as i'm sure we are all aware that the creeper is a sneaky little ninja. It tends to sneak up when you are near something valuable like your house or diamond. Next we hear the famous sssssssss. As I'm sure we all know comes the big

Yep the sneaky creeper blows it all up. And most the time people rage!!
Now I think you know the basics of a creeper let's move on.

A start is born

The Creeper was first released in the August 31, 2009 Survival Test update[7]. They are the only mob to drop Music Discs as well as being the easiest source of gunpowder in the game, which is necessary to craft TNT. However, when a creeper comes within one block of a player, the user has 1.5 seconds to either move 3-4 blocks away or kill the monster before it explodes [1]. According to the points system used by the 3rd stage of Minecraft development, Survival Test, Creepers are the most valuable mob at 200 points, while the next closest mob is worth 120 points[2].

Creepers are also the only offensive creature in the game that can be out in sunlight. Spiders become neutral during the day and both zombies and skeletons burn and die once the sun comes up. When struck by lightning, Creepers become Charged and are 5 times as powerful as normal. Players will often lure creepers into a box in which they cannot escape. In Survival Multiplayer Mode (SMP), it is common for players to lead the Creepers to an enemyo s house and allow the Creeper to explode, destroying that playero s base. This practice is commonly referred to as creeping, griefing, or leading.

SSSSSAYINGS and scaring people!

Beginning in the Minecraft forums, the hissing sound made by Creepers before exploding became an [size=1em]interruptor[/size], where people would type out o o ssssSS!o o in conversation to derail a conversation.While the exact origin is unknown, one of the earliest posts of the Creeper sound used in this manner dates back to April 11th 2010.[size=1em][6][/size]

That Sure is a Nice X You Have There



Another common phrase attributed to the Creepers is, o That sure is a nice X you have there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.o They also have evolved into an [size=1em]Advice Animal[/size] style image macro.[size=1em][5][/size]

Usage



Creepers, known for their distinct green pixel face, have become the unofficial face of Minecraft, even more popular than the actual face of Notch, who created the game. Different people have different reasons for using an image of a Creeper, but the most common include:

- Showing a screaming player response to a Creeper explosion.
- Manipulating objects, giving them the Creepero s face.
- Pictures of what the Creeper might look like in real life.
- Pictures representing the terror when mining in a cave (or anywhere else), receiving the vibe that they are being followed.


Now you can scare people!!

I think I have nailed the creeper into your brain now!
So I will leave you with some creeper fan art!
