Creeper is the only main character from the movie that is not from the books. He is of uncertain heritage, the best way to describe him is a dwarf. He is the Horned King's servant and right-hand dwarf. Creeper is the leader of the Horned King's Henchmen; what Creeper says, they do. If they don't, Creeper is signed up for a severe strangling and manhandling. This is one of the main reasons that Creeper is so happy at the end of the film, because the Horned King cannot punish him whether it is his fault or not!
