Creepers are enemies in the sandbox video game Minecraft that attack by exploding near their target. Creepers were added to Minecraft in an alpha update of the game on August 31, 2009.[citation needed] Since their release, the Creeper has become a mascot for Minecraft.[citation needed]
Design[edit]
Creepers were created as a result of a coding error, when the dimensions were entered improperly, with the length and height being swapped. Minecraft creator Markus Persson developed the Creeper around the odd appearance of the pig model.[1][2]
Impact[edit]
The Creeper has been featured in the logo of Minecraft, along with tee-shirts and decals. Numerous Halloween costumes and cosplays have been made depicting the Creeper.[2] Creepers have also been featured in the Lego Minecraft set.[3]
