CREEPERS

The Creeper is a hostile mob that will ambush players and explode, causing damage to the player and the surrounding blocks. Unlike Zombies and Skeletons, Creepers will not catch fire in direct sunlight, meaning they can wander around unharmed any time of the day until it is killed, like Spiders. The creeper will still be aggressive during the day, unlike spiders. Creepers spawn in the overworld at night and in locations with a light level of 7 or less, just like regular hostile mobs (though they do not have a Spawner in vanilla minecraft.) They are especially dangerous as they are almost completely silent (except for footsteps and their hissing noises when ready to explode), and their explosion is devastating at short range. Creepers run from Cats and Ocelots^[1] and will even ignore the player to run away when a feline is too close. The Creeper has gained considerable notoriety among Minecraft players for their infuriating habit of sneaking up on the player and killing/hurting them and/or damaging structures.
