"A crab-turtle hybrid with wings? Who engineers these bizarre chimeras?"
―Lance questions the biology of the Red Creep, Epic Battle Fantasy 5

The Red Creep is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is usually found along the Rainbow River, particularly on the northern banks near No Man's Land.

Appearance

The Red Creep is a large pink insect-like creature with six stubby legs, four red eyes, and a pair of rounded mandibles. It has a turtle-like shell with a red surface and a pair of feathery white wings sprouting from it.

Overview

The Red Creep is essentially a slightly more dangerous version of the Green Creep; it can tuck inside its shell to either buff its Magic Defence or spin around the battlefield to ram into the players for modest physical damage. Depending on how many times it attacks, its spin can be partially Wind-based with a chance to Stagger the target, or purely non-elemental with a chance to Weaken players.

Like its green counterpart, the Red Creep may also bounce off of other foes during its Shell Bump attacks; however, this will heal them instead of inflicting damage. Although the heal isn't particularly strong, it still encourages players to either take out the Red Creep quickly or use powerful attacks on its allies to prevent them from being healed back to full. It's also worth noting that the Red Creep will only use its 5x Shell Bump if there's at least two other foes remaining in the wave, so it can't heal its ally if there's only one other enemy left.

Higher difficulty levels improve the status infliction chances on the Red Creep's attacks, as well as the amount of HP it heals when it hits one of its allies. Its defensive maneuver also grants Defend status to further reduce incoming damage from all sources.

Red Creeps are immune to Water and resistant to Stun, Doom, and Death, but any other elements or status effects will work normally, especially since their Evade is below-average. In particular, they're weak to Thunder and especially Earth, so players can reliably take them down using skills like Quake or Shock. Giga Drill is also quite useful against them, given their tendency to Defend themselves and buff their Magic Defence.

If "More Foe Resistance" is enabled, the Red Creep loses its Thunder weakness and absorbs both Fire and Bomb.

Trivia

  • The Red Creep's appearance and description are references to the Red Shell item from the Mario Kart series, which homes in on the closest opponent. Additionally, the Red Creep's winged turtle shell makes it resemble a Koopa Paratroopa from the wider Mario franchise.
  • The Red Creep's Bestiary icon severely mispositions one of its wings in order to make it visible.
