Creeper


 * This article is about the boss fight minion. For the Halloween Event costume see Creeper costume. For the spider enemies, see Wall Creeper and Jungle Creeper.

Creepers are eyeball-like creatures that are spawned in groups of 20 to 30 as part of the Brain of Cthulhu boss fight. They orbit the Brain of Cthulhu during the first phase, acting as a shield of sorts. Once all Creepers are defeated, the Brain of Cthulhu continues the fight in its second phase, and the Creepers never appear again during the battle. They are immune to the Confused debuff and drop Hearts only when the player isn't at maximum health (this doesn't affect other drops). Note that each of the Creepers are susceptible to the On Fire! debuff, making the Flare Gun a good choice for DPS.

In Expert Mode, Creepers can inflict Confused, Poison, Bleeding, Darkness, Silenced, Broken Armor, and Weak debuffs.

Tips

 * Creepers count as kills, which can be used towards a Biome Key Farm.
