In the arcade version of the [[greenhouse (yellow)|yellow greenhouse]], three gray Creepies traverse the vines above Stanley and try to block his spray. In the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version, all Creepies are yellow. In later rounds, the number of Creepies increase; up to eight Creepies can be present in the arcade version's yellow greenhouse.

| | A '''Creepy''' is a snake<ref>"Creepy the snake will crawl down from the palm trees to attack." ''~Opening quote of Card 4 of 5/codes 7-8 for the Donkey Kong 3 series of e-Reader cards.''</ref> enemy that only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. |

|
| In ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]'', Creepies move in midair horizontally via jetpacks instead of crawling on the ground. They first appear [[On the Country Road]], the third stage.
| | They cannot usually be defeated, so when [[Stanley (Donkey Kong 3)|Stanley]] sprays them, they stop and swing. However, the Power Spray is potent enough to defeat them in one shot. In blue and gray greenhouses, one crawls along the platforms at the bottom of the screen. If it is sprayed enough before reaching the platform, the Creepy can be tricked into climbing up the vine for a short time. In a yellow greenhouse, three grey Creepies traverse the vines above Stanley and try to block his bug spray. |
