Notes

  • If the player's board is full with 7 friendly minions when the Creeper dies, only one Spectral Spider is summoned since there is not enough room for the second.[1]
  • The Spectral Spiders summoned by this card's Deathrattle appear in the same position on the board that the Creeper occupied.[1][2]

Lore[]

Creepers are a type of large, fearsome spiders found throughout Azeroth.

History[]

Haunted Creeper was originally named "Dread Creeper" and was a 3 Mana 3/2 minion. It's deathrattle originally summoned "1/1 Spiderlings" which were originally also Beasts, but this was found to be too strong for hunters' Beast synergy. They were conceptually changed to be undead in order to make the lack of a Beast type "less awkward".[3][4]
