Creepers are gooey, gelatinous ghosts that appear in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. They have infinite HP because their defense is their attachment to the floor; simply pulling in the opposite direction cannot defeat them, so the player must go next to it and do nothing this will slowly heal your health

Appearance

When Creepers are first encountered, they appear as large purple puddles. When fully revealed, they are purple beings with white eyes and always-smiling mouths with tiny upper and lower fangs, two arms, and a puddle underneath them.

Abilities

Luigi trapped inside a Creeper

Creepers can turn into puddles, making them invincible. Once the Dark-Light is shone on them or if the Poltergust 5000 vacuums them long enough, they reveal themselves. If Luigi walks over them when they are in puddle form, they rise up and imprison him in their bodies, causing damage. They can also split into smaller versions of themselves. Once smaller, they can be sucked up without a power surge. In the main story, Creepers can hang from ceilings and drop on Luigi if he walks underneath them.

In ScareScraper, if a normal Creeper is summoned by a boss Creeper attack, and Luigi frees himself from it, it will disappear instead of breaking into smaller ones. They additionally make different sound effects than Dark Moon Quest.
