Tai the Creeper

is a fan character designed by Frostybites16. Tai resides in the Minecraft universe.
Tai is a grumpy, pessimistic creeper who lives alone in a cave. He is a main character of Minecraft A New AgeTai is a typical creeper, but the thing is, when he sneaks up on a victim and he hisses, he can't blow up. When he was younger he fell into a ravine, he was lucky to survive but the impact from hitting the ground caused an internal injury that caused Tai's inner bomb to be damaged, and whatever mechanism in his body that's supposed to cause him to kaboom just stopped working. Other creepers would make fun of him for his inability to detonate, so he lives alone in a small isolated cave away from most other creepers and creatures in general. He's not much of a people's person, However, deep down, he has a soft(er) spot that he shows to a select few individuals that manage to appeal under his rough exterior.Tai is a long-necked plant-like quadrupedal creature with a box-like head and a prominent underbite. He is covered in sweet berry bushes, which are growing all over his body. He is prickly and covered in sweet berries, with a small berry bush growing on his head and a long twig growing out of it with some leaves and berries on it. He also has a large berry growing in between his eyes which resembles a nose. He is also a little smaller and more lightly built than most creepers, being about 5 feet tall while most creepers are around 6 feet. 
He is green in color and that green gets darker further down his legs, and he also has a darker green blotch around his left eye and a smaller blotch on his neck. The berries are pinkish-red and his eyes are black, but in the dark they glow red.Tai is rude, stubborn, usually keeps to himself, and seems to not care much for others. However deep down he's a kind soul, but has his limits in patience and temper. Like all creepers, has scared of cats, but he also views foxes as a nuisance, as they always try to eat the berries growing on him.Natural Abilities: 
* Explosion: Tai, like all creepers is notable for the ability to explode like a bomb, this is done thanks to the chemical compounds that are produced in his body. However at some point in his life he suffers an injury that ends up permanently damaging his internal bomb, and for years is incapable of blowing up. Eventually he does end up regaining the ability to detonate, but despite his destructive explosions, Tai always comes out of these with few to no scratches or wounds. While the cause of this remains unknown, it’s most likely due to the fact that his internal bomb is still permanently damaged, causing the energy he releases in the form of explosions do not affect him, but rather the objects in his blast radius. However, he also said that magic could be a possibility, but he’s probably just bullshitting.
* Charged Explosion: If struck by lightning, Tai will become a charged creeper, which can create very strong electrical explosions that are twice as powerful as the regular ones, with the combination of electricity and chemical compounds, Tai can emit a Shockwave when he blows up. It is unlikely Tai would be able to survive such an explosion though.
* Speed: Taiga is very fast, much faster than most creepers.
* Thorns: Having sweet berry bushes growing all over his body means he is covered in the bush’s thorns, and he can attack with those thorns, which hurts.
* Camouflage: Tai’s mossy/bushy, plant-like appearance makes it easy to camouflage himself in areas with a lot of foliage, and when he lays down and curls up, he looks just like a berry bush.
* Dark Vision: Tai can see in the dark
* Ocular illumination: Tai has the ability to project light from his eyes when he is in dimly lit areas.
Unique Abilities: 
* Berry Bomb: before Tai  has the ability to blow up again, while he's still healing from his injury, eventually he's able to do a thing I call "Berry Bomb" where he like holds his breath, and tries to activate the detonate thing, but at this point its still broken so instead of blowing up, all of his berries blow off of him and hit everything in the immediate vicinity. ya know, kinda like that myth that porcupines can shoot their quills, but instead its flaming berries. He loses all of his berries afterwards though but they will grow back
* Ailurophobia: Tai is deathly afraid of cats. Being a creeper, he has an instinctual, innate fear of felines.

*Tai's theme is I'll Be Good - James Young
*Some of Tai's inspirations include Oscar the Grouch, The Grinch, and this infamous piece by Chromedragon (I just think the knuckle-walking thing is really cool and suits creepers quite well).
