'''Creepers''' are gooey, gelatinous ghosts that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They have infinite [[HP]]; simply pulling in the opposite direction cannot defeat them, so the [[Player|player]] must charge up the Power Gauge and press {{button|3ds|A}} to unleash a Power Surge.  
'''Creepers''' are gooey, gelatinous ghosts that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They have infinite [[Heart Point|HP]] because their defense is their attachment to the floor; simply pulling in the opposite direction cannot defeat them, so the player must charge up the Power Gauge and press {{button|3ds|A}} to unleash a Power Surge and pull them off the ground.


==Appearance==  
==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==  
==Abilities==
Creepers can turn into puddles making them invincible. Once the [[Dark-Light Device|Dark-Light]] is shone on them or if the [[Poltergust 5000]] sucks 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 break into smaller versions of themselves. Once smaller, they can be sucked up without a power surge. In the main story, Creepers can even hang from ceilings and drop on [[Luigi]] if he walks underneath them.

Creepers can turn into puddles, making them invincible. Once the [[Dark-Light Device|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, imprison him in their bodies and punch him, 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.


==Ghost Container Description==  
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.
''These gooey ghosts just love to cuddle, and they'll never want to let you go. But after the [[Dark Moon]] broke apart, they forgot about the cuddling part. Watch out for them on floors and ceilings!''
