Kreepers are found only in the game ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and are quite rare.

A Kreeper is very weak and can be defeated by any means.

Sometimes, a Kreeper will appear to harass the Kongs in their battle against the Creepy Castle boss [[King Kut Out]], but they can also provide them with extra health mid-battle.

Ghosts[1] are Kritters that wear a bed sheet over their body to mimic the appearance of a ghost. They appear only in Creepy Castle in Donkey Kong 64. Ghosts make a sound (later used by Kackles and Kloaks in the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest) and run slowly at the player character upon noticing them. Ghosts are weak enemies which can be defeated only by one hit, and their spoils from being defeated is a melon slice. Some Ghosts spawn in the center stage during the boss fight against King Kut Out each time the boss is hit.
