In Minecraft, a creeper is a hostile mob that sneaks up on players and then explodes. Creepers are a common aspect of gameplay and have become one of the icons of Minecraft.
In the game, creepers are a nuisance that pursues any player within a 16-block radius. When a creeper dies, it leaves behind gunpowders, a music disc, and experience points (when a player kills it).
Minecraft gamers created the term based on the stalker aspects of the mob that resemble socially invasive creepers in real life. If you use creeper with non-Minecraft gamers, they will probably think you're referring to the socially awkward people they know.
