Creepers are hostile mobs found in the popular video game Minecraft. They are known for their distinctive green, pixelated appearance and their ability to silently approach players. When they get close enough, they explode, causing damage to players and the surrounding environment. Creepers are unique among Minecraft mobs because they do not make noise while moving, making them difficult to detect. They drop gunpowder upon defeat, which players can use to craft explosives like TNT. Their iconic design and explosive behavior have made them a recognizable symbol of the game.
