Creepers of the World

Note: This is fanon. There is only one type of creeper in unmodded vanilla Minecraft.
==Preface==
There are many different types of creepers, each with unique abilities. Creepers are some of the most common mobs in Minecraft, and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. In this book you will learn about all different types of creepers, and all the extraordinary things they can do. 
===Creeper Classification===
Creepers are classified into many different groups. All creepers are part of the order Creeperius, and inside that group there are many others. There are the explosive creepers, which are the most common kind, the passive creepers, and many many others. Creepers in the Overworld and Nether are usually somewhat related, but ender creepers are very different, and may not even be related to the common creepers we find in our Minecraft worlds.
==Explosive Creepers==
Most creepers, and the most common creepers, are the explosive ones. Explosive creepers can be found all over the Overworld and Nether. Most of these creepers are usually annoying pests, and can be dealt with pretty easily once you have some better tools and armor, but some of the others are not ones you want to mess with.
==== The Common Creeper ====
Common Creepers are the most common creepers, and are most likely the ones surprising you and 
exploding your house on your first few days in Minecraft. If you are brave and decide to go outside on your first night, common creepers can be pretty annoying, and you might not want to mess with them. Common Creepers eat mostly sugar, but metabolize it into gunpowder, which they use to explode. When exploding, they spread eggs, which will grow and hatch into full-grown creepers when it is dark enough.
==== The Cave Creeper ====
When you are exploring a dark cave for the first time, you may run in to some creepers, but most likely, they will be the common ones that come out in dark places everywhere. Cave Creepers are more dangerous than those, and are also a lot more rare. They are darker than common ones, and make a whirring sound. Their explosions are much more dangerous than those of Common Creepers, but they are also slower than them.
==== The Alpine Creeper ====
Alpine Creepers are specifically evolved to survive in cold, treacherous environments. They do not eat sugar like most creepers, and as a result have a less powerful explosion. They are white to blend in with the snow, and their eggs do not need as much darkness to hatch. Unlike most creeper, these ones can jump high, and you can find them doing so if you happen to find one. Alpine Creepers are not rare, but they are very good at hiding, so are almost never sighted.
==== The Fire Creeper ====
The Fire Creeper, also known as the Common Nether Creeper, lives in the nether, like its name suggests. As a result, they have evolved to be much more hostile and explosive, and they are resistant to fire. You can find them in nether wastes, and they are not something you want to come in to. Fire Creepers are strangely scared of striders, so you can use striders to ward them off.
==== The Soul Creeper ====
Soul Creepers are variants of Fire Creepers found in Soul Sand Valleys. They are less explosive, but are far more dangerous, and can hide in soul fire. They are the rarest type of explosive creeper, and have only been sighted and recorded five times. They have no spawn egg in creative mode, and will actually try to avoid the player in survival. They are only hostile when provoked.
==== The Charged Creeper ====
Charged Creepers are not really a separate species, but more of a mutation of a Common Creeper. If a creeper gets struck by lightning, it will turn into a charged one, and will me much more dangerous. If a mob gets killed by a charged creeper, they will drop their head. (This is actually real in Minecraft)
==== The Creepshroom ====
The Creepshroom is a variant of creepers found on mushroom islands. Like their name suggests, they are covered in mushrooms, like mooshrooms and cluckshrooms. They are neutral, and when attacked, will explode into bits of mushroom. They can be sheared into Common Creepers, which will then attack you.
== Passive Creepers ==
Passive Creepers, also known as Non-Explosive Creepers, are not actually all passive. They just do not explode, and will usually not attack anyone on sight. However, Passive Creepers still have their own amazing abilities.
==== The Warped Creeper ====
Warped Creepers are a variant of creepers that live in Warped Forests. They are covered in warped vines, and do not attack players or anything else. Since they live in a place where nothing is trying to really kill them, they have evolved to lose their defenses, so they would not thrive in any other place.
==== The Water Creeper ====
Water Creepers, not to be confused with Drowned Creepers, are a type of creeper that are found in warm and lukewarm water. They are common in coral reefs, and eat mostly pufferfish. To defend against pufferfish and drowned, their skin can sting whatever touches it. Unlike most creepers, the Water Creeper reproduces by laying eggs normally. 
==== The Drowned Creeper ====
Drowned Creepers look like Water Creepers, but are greener, and live in all oceans. They will attack most things they see, but do not explode. Drowned Creepers come from Common Creepers that have sunk into the water and drowned, just like drowned zombies come from normal zombies. 
==== The False Explosive Creeper ====
This creeper is a completely passive creeper, so has evolved a defense against its enemies. They appear to look almost exactly like Common Creepers, scaring off whatever wants to attack it. In truth, it is a peaceful creeper, and will spend its time roaming around looking for sugar to eat.
==== The Village Creeper ====
A Village Creeper is a type of creeper found in villages. They started out as Common Creepers, but evolved to live in villages, so lost their explosive defense. They are technically related to Explosive Creepers, but I am including it here because it is passive. They have evolved to live on what they find in the village, and they are one of the smartest kinds of creepers.
== Ender Creepers ==
Ender Creepers are a very rare and very interesting variant of creepers. They cannot be related to other creepers, and nobody knows how they evolved so similar to them. (Note: when two things in two different places evolve to be alike in some way it’s called convergent evolution) Ender Creepers do not explode, but have very special abilities of their own.
==== The Common Ender Creeper ====
Ender Creepers are extremely rare, and when the people who know about them think about them, they usually have in mind the Common Ender Creeper. But do not let the name fool you. This creeper is only common compared to the other extremely elusive Ender Creepers. This creeper does not have any prey or predators, and lives eating chorus fruit. Along with the Water Creeper, they are one of the only creepers to reproduce by laying eggs. They bury their eggs inside the end stone, but will then leave and never see their baby creeperlings.
==== The Chorus Creeper ====
The Chorus Creeper, although still extremely rare, is another of the more “common” Ender Creepers. They live among Chorus Trees, starting off as being the same color as their surroundings, but the ones who survive grow up to change into an arsenal of End-related colors. When players are nearby or when hunting, they hide beneath Chorus Trees and then explode, breaking the Chorus Tree to confuse the target if it is not already dead.
==== The Domestic Chorus Creeper ====
Some Chorus Creepers did not make it to adulthood in the wild, or die, but wandered upon the End Cities or were taken in to them. These Creepers are no longer taken from the wild, but have been bred and evolved for years to lose all hostile traits except those encouraged. These domestic Creepers do not explode or hunt anymore, but are used as guards, sending out small shocks to enemies. Some others are not hostile at all, only being used as pets or entertainment. However, as the wild Chorus Creeper’s population slowly declines, and the domestic one goes out of favor, the latter is soon expected to go extinct as they cannot survive without external help.
