Charged Creeper

The Charged Creeper is one of the most dangerous regular enemies in Minecraft Dungeons II: a supercharged variant with 30 health whose proximity explosion deals a massive 75 blast damage. That figure dwarfs its modest health pool and 36 poise, making it a walking bomb that must be handled with respect.

Its only attack is the proximity area blast, triggered when a hero gets close. There is no melee or ranged fallback listed, which means the entire fight is about spacing. At 400 movement speed it is not fast, so keeping your distance and killing it from range is entirely practical; the heroes who fall to it are the ones who let it waddle into melee range.

It is weak to poison damage (+25%) and resists lightning damage (-25%). Poison weapons are the efficient choice, and lightning builds should pick another target or accept reduced damage. Never try to finish it with a point-blank melee combo unless you can kill it before the blast arms.

It spawns in the Honeycomb Fields at the Honeybrook Bridge and Honeycomb Farm minecart stations. The standard Creeper is its weaker cousin with the same habits, the Copper Cube shares its poison weakness, and the Bee is another small hostile to keep an eye on while you reposition.
