Creeper (fictional creature) → Creeper (Minecraft) – Both shorter and more precise - distinguishes from other "fictional creatures" such as, for example, the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers. Ionmars10 (talk) 19:31, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

• Comment this should be an RFD not a RM, and actually a technical move to Creeper (Minecraft). Creeper (fictional creature) should point to Creeper disambiguation since there are multiple characters and creatures called creepers. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

• Support per nom, the more precise disambiguator is much better. Though, a bunch of pages have already linked the current page title, and since that's likely to be redirected to Creeper, those links will all have to be changed. Invalid^OS_talk 17:52, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Not sure whether "Creeper (fictional creature)" should redirect to this page (Creeper (Minecraft)) or the disambiguation page — since, while there are other fictional creatures called Creepers, this is the only one with a page.

Creeper, Aw Man / "Creeper Challenge"

Noting this if an editor wants to take a stab, might be cool and worth adding some kind of cultural/internet memes part about the popular meme "Creeper, Aw Man" originating from CaptainSparklez's "Revenge":

Some possible sources, though these are marginally reliable and not the best: TLA^tlak 13:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Behavior section

Shouldn’t we have a behavior section of the creeper? WikiGrower1 (talk) 15:01, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

No. The way that the creeper behaves is already explained in the article. λ NegativeMP1 15:34, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

What about the fact that they don’t approach the player until it is sixteen blocks away and start exploding when 3 blocks away? That’s what I am talking about? WikiGrower1 (talk) 17:02, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Their behavior is already in the article. Ringtail Raider (talk) 19:07, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

I don’t see it, it just says they explode within blast radius. Doesn’t say the range WikiGrower1 (talk) 13:33, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

I don't see why it's necessary to specify the range of which it can explode. Or a separate drops section like what you just tried to add. WP:GAMECRUFT. λ NegativeMP1 16:19, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

A creeper is nearly silent until it comes near the player, at which point it emits a hiss and explodes after a short delay. The explosion destroys the creeper, can kill or injure the player, and also destroys surrounding blocks. If you want more specific game values you should check out Minecraft Wiki (which is actually already linked at the bottom of the article). Ringtail Raider (talk) 20:47, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Possible NFCC violation?

We're using a non-free image of a Creeper when Xbox México has published File:Minecraft Creeper (Crop).png under CC-BY (has been discussed and upheld on Commons) which is not an awful depiction and is actually used in the main Minecraft article. Surely that means it violates WP:NFCC? FunIsOptional (talk) (please use ping!) 11:09, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

I think the creeper is copyrighted to Mojang if I'm not mistaken. If I'm right, then this would be a valid NFUR for the article subject. Gommeh 📖   🎮 19:23, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

@FunIsOptional: There's been some voiced concerns on Commons that such images are not actually copyright free, as the main source of the videos are still under a standard copyright license. Relying on a region-specific upload to 'skirt' the issue feels like a bomb waiting to happen, especially as the main image of an article's infobox.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:03, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
