Creepers; The Camoflauged Bomb
Lord_Kashi
The 'Creepers' as the people of Oren call them, are large green monsters with no arms, but very powerful legs. They will batter you to aid the other monsters, but will not kill you themself. However, if they feel they are losing the battle, Creepers will detonate themselves, killing both them and you. This explosion will destroy a substantial area of land around them, though stone and obsidian seems to be fairly resistant to the explosion, the latter more so. Somtimes Creepers will just sneak up on you out of the wild grass and explode, if they have no backup. The explosion will be made even more violent if the Creeper is charged up, so Undead Mages will often strike them with lightning in order to charge them up. I believe gunpowder to be the source of this explosion, as Creepers can drop a large quantity of it when the are killed without exploding. Creepers have a small delay between starting up the explosion process and actually exploding, so if you hear a 'ssssssssss' the run as fast as you can...
