Blue Creep

Blue Creep
Group	Creeps
Roles	Foe, Summon
Appearances	Epic Battle Fantasy 5

The Blue Creep is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It's typically found along the Rainbow River and in No Man's Land, with a few scattered around in other locations such as The Rapture. It is a member of the Creeps enemy group.

Appearance

The Blue Creep is a large pink insect-like creature with six stubby legs, four blue eyes, and a pair of mandibles. It sports a big blue shell adorned with white spikes.

Overview

The Blue Creep behaves similarly to a Green Creep, being able to hide in its shell to defend itself and buff its Evade, as well as spin around the battlefield to ram into the players and sometimes other foes. When using its spin attack, a Blue Creep can sometimes Dispel its targets on contact. The most notable thing that sets the Blue Creep apart from other Creeps is that when its health gets too low, it will ram itself into a random player and self-destruct to deal heavy Bomb damage. On Hard or Epic difficulty, this final attack can also Disable the targeted player.

Blue Creeps are weak to Thunder and especially Earth, but resist Wind and are immune to Water. Spells like Quake, Lightning Strike, and Shock can take them down fairly easily.

Trivia

• The Blue Creep's description and Explode attack are references to the Blue Shell power-up commonly present in the Mario Kart series, which shoots an explosive projectile directly at the racer in first place.
