Creep is a liquid created by the attacks of certain monsters and bosses, or may be spawned by Isaac. Creep appears on the ground as a glowing or "shiny" puddle or line. There are a few different kinds of Creep which can affect enemies or Isaac. Having the ability to fly or the CallusCallus trinket nullifies the effects of Creep.

Creep that will affect Isaac is shown flickering rapidly. When all enemies inside a room are defeated, the creep they produced will quickly disappear.

Red Creep[ | ]

Red Creep is the most common type of Creep in the game. It can be created by various different enemies, champions, or Isaac himself. When spawned by enemies, it damages Isaac but not other enemies in the room. When spawned by Isaac, it damages walking enemies but not Isaac himself. It deals half a heart of damage to the player. Red Creep is representative of blood.

Green Creep[ | ]

Green Creep is spawned by various enemies, Ultra PrideUltra Pride, Boss Pestilence ingamePestilence, green champion monsters, (except in Rebirth) Boss Dangle ingameDangle and (except in Rebirth) Boss Brownie ingameBrownie (when they are poisoned). When spawned by enemies, it is functionally equivalent to Red Creep, however some forms spawned by Isaac deal damage at a faster rate. It can be spawned by Isaac with (except in Rebirth)Bob's BladderBob's Bladder, (except in Rebirth)Collectible Toxic Shock iconToxic Shock, Collectible Mysterious Liquid iconMysterious Liquid, or (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible 7 Seals icon7 Seals' Boss Pestilence ingamePestilence familiar. ((except in Rebirth) Notably, the BobBob transformation actually generates red creep that is just colored green.) Green Creep is representative of acid, bile, or poison.

Yellow Creep[ | ]

Yellow Creep is spawned by Boss Peep ingamePeep, Collectible Lemon Mishap iconLemon Mishap, Lemon Party pills, and (in Repentance)Collectible Free Lemonade iconFree Lemonade. When spawned by Boss Peep ingamePeep, it deals half a heart of damage to the player. When spawned by Isaac, it continuously damages walking enemies and seems to do more damage than any other type of creep that Isaac can create. Yellow Creep is representative of urine.

Black Creep[ | ]

Black Creep is spawned by various enemies, Boss Gish ingameGish, (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) the Something's Wrong... pill, Collectible Ball of Tar iconBall of Tar, and (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible 7 Seals icon7 Seals' Boss Famine ingameFamine familiar. It slows the movement speed of affected enemies or the player. When spawned by enemies, it affects Isaac but not other enemies. When spawned by Isaac, it affects enemies but not Isaac, bypassing the status resistances of Bosses. Black Creep is likely representative of tar or oil, (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) though in the case of the Something's Wrong... pill, it may be fecal matter with blood in it.

White Creep[ | ]

White Creep is functionally similar to Black Creep. White Creep is spawned by several bosses, including Boss Widow ingameWidow, Boss The Wretched ingameThe Wretched, Boss Triachnid ingameTriachnid, and (except in Rebirth) Boss The Frail ingameThe Frail, as well as Small Baby Long LegsSmall Baby Long Legs. Isaac can spawn white creep with Collectible Juicy Sack iconJuicy Sack, (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Large Zit iconLarge Zit, (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Parasitoid iconParasitoid, and (in Repentance)Collectible Sticky Bombs iconSticky Bombs. White Creep could be representative of a liquid form of Cobweb or pus.

Blue Creep[ | ]

Blue Creep is spawned by (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Depression iconDepression, Collectible Holy Water iconHoly Water and Collectible Aquarius iconAquarius. Blue creep damages enemies that walk over it. It is likely representative of water or tears.

(in Repentance) Blue creep spawned by Collectible Holy Water iconHoly Water petrifies enemies.

(in Repentance) Blue creep spawned by Collectible Aquarius iconAquarius synergizes with tear effects.

(except in Rebirth) Dark Blue Creep[ | ]

Dark Blue Creep is spawned by Boss Hush ingameHush during his beam attack. Blue creep spawned by Boss Hush ingameHush makes Isaac slide, and does not affect other enemies.

Grey Creep[ | ]

Grey Creep is spawned only by Boss The Cage ingameThe Cage. It damages Isaac like Red Creep but does not affect other enemies. It may be representative of some type of rotten fluid.

Orange Creep[ | ]

Orange Creep is spawned only by Boss Mama Gurdy ingameMama Gurdy. It slows down Isaac like Black Creep, but does not affect other enemies. Unlike other types of Creep, Orange Creep does not flicker rapidly, even though it only affects Isaac. Due to its nature, it may be representative of vomit, pus, or some other bodily liquid.

(except in Rebirth) Brown Creep[ | ]

Brown Creep is spawned by Character Tainted ??? iconTainted ??? and (in Repentance)Collectible IBS iconIBS's mechanics, or by bosses such as Boss Brownie ingameBrownie, Boss Dangle ingameDangle, Boss Turdlings ingameTurdlings, (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Boss Sisters Vis ingameSisters Vis and the (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) X-Lax pill. Hostile Brown Creep and the Creep spawned by X-Lax will make Isaac slide, affecting his ability to stop moving or change directions while moving. This kind of Brown Creep does not flicker rapidly even though it only affects Isaac. Friendly Brown Creep spawned by Character Tainted ??? iconTainted ??? or (in Repentance)Collectible IBS iconIBS would give damage and tears boost if Isaac is standing on it, and will synergize with other kinds of poop spawned by those mechanic. It is representative of liquid poop, likely to be diarrhea.

(in Repentance) Static Creep[ | ]

Static Creep is spawned exclusively by Boss Dogma ingameDogma's first phase. It appears underneath the boss as they move. It functions the same as Red Creep, harming Isaac for half a heart. Rather than being representative of a certain type of liquid, it represents visual static, most commonly seen on televisions with no signal.

Trivia[ | ]

  • All Creep share a single sprite base, and simply apply their colors and visual effects to it in accordance to the Creep's type.
    • (in Repentance) Static Creep uses the same static effect as the Collectible Dogma iconDogma item and Boss Dogma ingameDogma, but applied to the entire sprite, and not just the areas indicated in blue.
