Creek/History

== ==
Creek was designed to make Poppy question her positive attitude due to his own attitude. He was meant to make Poppy doubt herself by his choice of self-perservation over the welfare of the other Trolls. As such, Creek represents the dark side of being positive.
Creek replaced the deleted character Miss Guffin. Many of his traits are also reused from Cybil, who was a character intended to have a big role in the movie, and was also very Zen-like. In many concept arts, Creek had a gem, either as an amulet or as a "good luck" belly button gem. He also was going to be purple with orange hair that faded to blue, though went through a number of color changes. In most renditions, Creek was meant to be a "pretty boy" or attractive Troll."The Art of DreamWorks Trolls", ISBN no.;9781785653025

=== Trolls ===
Creek first appears in the Trolls movie when The Snack Pack encountered Branch. Creek takes a point to mock Branch's negativity; this ends with Hug Time occurring and the group trapping Branch in a group hug. When Branch escapes, he tells Poppy that he hopes when the time comes and she's queen, her singing, dancing and hugging will save her as it's all she knows to do. As Branch leaves, Creek tells her to ignore Branch, as some folks just don't want to be happy.
He's next seen at Poppy's celebration of the 20 year anniversary of King Peppy's escape plan, which saved all the Trolls in the Troll Tree from the Bergens. He's seen launching glitterbombs using Satin & Chenille's conjoined hair as a catapult. As the party gets noisier and noisier, it manages to catch Chef's attention, who has been looking for the Trolls for 20 years since King Gristle Sr. banished her for letting the Trolls escape the Troll Tree.
Chef invades the party and takes the entirety of the Snack Pack, save Poppy herself, who's desperately trying to save Creek most of all during the attack.
The group is taken to Bergen Castle, where Chef convinces King Gristle Jr. to bring back the Bergen Troll-eating holiday Trollstice. As preparations begin, Gristle begins to doubt Chef's preparations, and in an attempt to convince him that everything is fine, Chef tries to get him to eat Creek. Gristle keeps finding excuses not to. Eventually, Chef stuffs Creek in his mouth and they leave the dining room. The entire event is witnessed by Poppy and Branch, who came to rescue the kidnapped Trolls.
Offscreen, Creek manages to survive from getting eaten and pleads for his life. He makes a deal with the Bergens: to save himself being eaten, he'll give them all the other Trolls. Realizing that Poppy will not only come rescue him and their friends but also hide everyone at their home, Creek decides to use her cowbell in order to lure the other Trolls out of hiding but had to capture her first. Creek hides in King Gristle Jr.'s gem, so wherever Poppy is in Bergen Town she would see him.
When Gristle has his date with Bridget, disguised as "Lady Glittersparkles", he reveals that Creek is alive. However, after being informed by Chef that his friends escaped, Creek realizes that Poppy, who had help from Branch, saved them and has figured out that she must have seen him in the gem so they will come rescue him, due to seeing him when they were hiding in Bridget's hair. Creek moves to Chef's fanny pack and waits for Poppy and her friends to find the gem. When their rescue plan to save Creek fails, the Snack Pack is recaptured, including Poppy and Branch this time. After the group is put in a cage, Creek is brought out of the fanny pack by Chef, but gets strangled by Branch who has figured out that he is selling them out. However, Creek is released when Poppy convinces Branch to let him go and give him a chance to explain. Creek thanks Poppy for letting him explain himself, but reveals to her that what Branch is saying is true that he sold them and the entire village out, much to her dismay as she attempts to strangle him until her friends get her to calm down and let him go. After Poppy lets him go and asks for an explanation, Creek tells her that he made a deal with Chef and King Gristle Jr. so he would't get eaten. He tells Poppy that he is doing all this for her so she would have a clear conscience, and takes Poppy's cowbell. Returning home, Creek helps Chef and the other Bergen cooks capture the entire village by banging it to call the Trolls out of hiding.
The Trolls eventually save themselves, and the Bergens abandon the consumption of Trolls. Creek and Chef are sent on their way, the pair stuck in a cooking pot. They're last seen in a mid-credits scene, when the pot stops on the top of a hill. Chef goes to reach over to eat Creek, only for the hill to turn out to be a hill monster. They then fall into its mouth.
Officially in terms of 3D canon, Creek has not returned as a consquence.

=== Trolls: The Beat Goes On! ===
In Creek Week, Creek returns to the village, having escaped from the hill monster's mouth. When he begs for forgiveness, he earns it from the rest of The Snack Pack save Branch, who's unconvinced that he has changed and won't forgive him. Branch continued to try to prove he couldn't be trusted, which Creek shrugged off to make Branch look bad until Branch showed that he was a coward. Poppy tells Branch to apologize, but he doesn't. Later when Branch finally caves in and goes to apologize, Creek decides to take advantage of this and forces him to sing a song. The song is mostly aimed at stroking Creek's ego by practically having Branch grovel for forgiveness. Though Creek says the song was in the wrong key, he accepts the apology. Even though Creek ended up getting his friends back, he was never considered a member of the Snack Pack again, and later episodes confirmed this, such as Meet The Peppy, wherein Creek's image is absent from all of Poppy's "friend" references.
Creek and Branch harbored a rivalry against each other throughout the series. Creek would often try and get one over Branch, knowing that Branch still didn't trust him. In Bad Luck Branch, he takes a moment to get on Branch's nerves to throw him off his game. In Tall Tail, Branch catches him out lying - except, Creek didn't actually lie. Yet, when Branch is given the chance to confirm Creek told the truth, he instead lied to cover that he had been wrong about Creek. The only moment in the entire series where they appeared to get along was in Haircuffed, wherein Poppy, sick of their rivalry, tied the two together by the hair. Creek and Branch worked together to teach Poppy a lesson, but the result is that they unknowingly did what the bow aimed to achieve anyway.

Creek makes an appearence in Mouth Guitar where he is, and then later confirms, compared to Blaze Powerchord.
