The creeper isMinecraft’s most iconic monster. Since Minecraft is the most popular video game ever made, that makes it one of the most recognizable and important enemies in the entire medium. This explosive creature is often the source of frustration, given its tendency to blow up and destroy your precious creations. However, things being frustrating often makes them more memorable, and that’s certainly the case here. This monster’s ominous hiss and signature explosion are paradoxically hated and beloved, and this creature has been widely merchandised.
If you’re looking for merch along those lines, either for yourself or a young gamer in your life, you’re in luck, because we’ve gathered together some of the best Creeper merch out there.
Minecraft Creeper Plush
No need to overthink this one
This eight-inch plush takes the form of the star of this list, giving you a representation of it to display in your very own home. The softness even makes it a bit cute.
We begin with perhaps the most basic form of merch that can represent a creature: a plush. There are quite a few Creeper plushes, but this one is one of our favorites. It’s a little on the small side, but it’s super high-quality, very soft, and does a great job balancing the need to be cute with the need to genuinely look like a creeper, which it accomplishes mostly by literally softening its edges while limiting how much it distorts the actual shape.
Over a foot tall
This large creeper pillow buddy gives you an ideal way to being this iconic creature with you in your own bed. Not everyone will like its distorted shape, but some might find it even cuter.
The last plush was nice, but it was a little on the small side. This one is quite a bit larger, at a full sixteen inches. It’s a flat “pillow buddy” style plush, designed in such a way that it only looks right from one angle, but that’s something you’re able to account for in how you display it, and as long as you do so, it’ll look great. The flatness and size also make it usable as a pillow.
Minecraft Creeper Inside Black Top
It’s fitting for such a shocking monster to burst through a wall
This t-shirt bears the image of a creeper poking its head through a wall, as if entering through a hole a comrade created. While this isn’t likely to occur in the game, the vibe of sudden, disasterous emergence is very fitting.
Plushes are probably the most basic way to represent a creature, butwith regard to merch in general, the t-shirt is where it’s at. There are a great many Minecraft t-shirts, but this is one of our favorites, especially among those involving the creeper. This image shows the creature bursting through a wall. While this does not actually happen in-game, because exploding to create a hole like this would destroy the creeper, the sudden emergence has a vibe that fits very well.
Unfortunately, this shirt is only available sized for children and teenagers, but if you’ve got a young Minecraft fan in your life, this is a great gift for them.
Trends International Minecraft Creeper Do Not Enter Wall
Can’t put it much better than “SSSSSSS BOOM”
This poster depicts the creeper in an interesting graffiti style, distinct from the game while still carrying a different sort of low-fi charm. Besides the monster, it also shows some of the explosives that can be crafted from it.
Posters are another relatively basic kind of merch, and one that can be taken in a ton of interesting directions. Often,the best merch is stuff that feels like it could really belong in the universe it’s referencing, and that’s the case here, with graffiti intended to suggest someone has written a warning about the presence of creepers in the area. The result is a really cool-looking design with fun details, including depictions of some of the items that Creeper remains allow you to craft or gather.
Paladone Minecraft Creeper Desk Light
Perfect for situations that call for gentle lighting
This desk lamp takes the form of a creeper’s head from which a soft light shines, and, as if that weren’t already cool, turning the product on makes the hiss and explosion of a creeper play.
In a game whose aesthetic identity is defined by the fact that there’s almost nothing in it but cubes, the fact that the creeper’s head, which you may’t even build anything with, manages to be one of the most iconic cubes in the game is pretty impressive.
This themed lamp makes a great night-light. It’s enhanced by the familiar sound effects, a hiss followed by an explosion that comes from it when it’s activated.
Minecraft Creeper Glitter Motion Light
A great sparkle effect
This sparkly glittery mood light casts a green glow with a cool-looking effect. The sparkles naturally move around when it’s turned on, and its light is surprisingly bright, enough to be useful.
Another lamp, this one less generic, but no less cool and functional. This LED light is full of glitter, which makes for a pretty effect when it’s turned on. It’s designed to be a nightlight, a job it can fulfill well, though it’s also surprisingly bright, enough that it’s potentially usable for work.
Its fan makes a bit of noise, which some will find annoying, but it’s quiet enough that some won’t be bothered by it, and for those people, it’s a great light. Also, while it doesn’t have legs, as they would force it to be a different shape, it does have designs on its base evocative of the creeper’s legs, which is a nice touch.
Minecraft Colouring Pencils Set
A ton of different colors
This creeper-pattered box is full of a whopping 72 colored pencils, which are also minecraft themed, in a correspondingly wide variety of colors, all pre-packaged in a surprisingly convenient case.
Minecraft is all about creativity. Though any given playthrough theoretically comes with the long-term goal of defeating the Ender Dragon, that is ultimately a secondary concern for most players, who are more interested in completing interesting building projects like their home base or cool decorations.
Creatively-minded people are likely to be fans of this game, which is why this product is so great. This set contains a whopping seventy-two colored pencils, each of their own color, enough for artists to create an enormous variety of images. If you or a loved one is artistically inclined both in and out of this game, this product is a great pick.
Minecraft Exploding RC Creeper
For a creeper in your own home
This remote-control toy allows you or your child to drive a creeper around, plus, it’s capable of exploding on command, and stuffed with particles that make that explosion real and satisfying.
This last one’s a fun one. There’s a reason we saved it.Many of the objects on this list have been aimed at allowing you to bring some semblanceof a creeper into your very own home, but none of them bring the complete creeper experience quite like this one does.
This remote-control toy can move around your home. As it does, little creeper legs move, just as they would in the game. You can press a button that makes them hiss, and, after you hold that for a bit, it explodes. Don’t worry, it’s not got the destructive force the in-game enemy has, but it does scatter some particles in the small area around it. It’s super fun, especially for non-collectors who are likely to make heavy use of it.
