Creeper

A Creeper is a fictional monster in the video game Minecraft.

Attacking

Unlike other monsters in Minecraft, the Creeper does not have a primary attack that is performed on the player until the monster looses site of the player, or the monster is killed. Instead, upon contact with the player, the Creeper will start a fuse. The length of the fuse depends on the difficulty the player is playing on. If the player moves out the Creepers target range, the fuse will reset, but if he stays in, the Creeper will eventually explode.

Damage

If the creeper is physically touching the player upon explosion, considering the player has no armour, it will kill the player even if they have full health. The further the player gets from the creeper, the less the explosion damages the player.

Other Effects

Unless dead, the player will also be knocked back by the creepers explosion. While initially the creeper may not kill the player, it may knock the player into lava or another hazard, thereby killing the player.
