 A '''Creepy''' is a worm<ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' [[media:Dk3flyerback.png|back flyer]] (English). "''CREEPY is a SLOW moving worm.''"</ref><ref>Grimm, Steven. ''Animal Crossing'' Player's Guide. Page 152.

"'''''Creepy the snake'''''"</ref><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]]''.
-They cannot usually be defeated, so when [[Stanley]] [[insect repellant|spray]]s them, they stop and swing. However, the [[Super Sprayer]] 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 the yellow greenhouse, three gray Creepies traverse the vines above Stanley and try to block his spray.

If it is sprayed enough before reaching the platform, the Creepy can be tricked into climbing up the vine for a short time. In the aracade version of the [[greenhouse (yellow)|yellow greenhouse]], three gray Creepies traverse the vines above Stanley and try to block his spray. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, all Creepies are yellow. In later rounds, the number of Creepies increase.
+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.

+*Creepy has a predecessor known as the "inchworm"<ref>Game & Watch ''Green House'' English instruction.</ref> in the [[Game & Watch]] title ''[[Greenhouse|Green House]]'', displaying a grin when it emerges as opposed to a constant grimace; unlike Creepy, the inchworm tries to eat flowers and must be defeated with the [[Sprayer|spray gun]].
