Why Creepers Fear Cats 

phantoms being afraid of cats can be explained easily when you go to sleep (and have a tamed cat), there is a chance of the cat giving you a "gift" when you wake up one of those gifts is a phantom membrane, indicating that the cat may have killed a phantom so it's safe to assume that phantoms instinctively stay way from cats because they're their predators

I have recently became addicted to minecraft lore. I can't stop watching people like Dragonic,Gametheory,RetroGamingNow and Wifies

my guess is that the creators of the temples wanted to better defend themselves due to low resources, so they used magic to create creepers to act as a way to attack other places, and defend what they plundered. the cats acted as deterrent both because of their cultural importance and as a means to potentially herd creepers and prevent them backfiring. the spore releasing was likely just a way to create creepers without expending resources in artificial creation.

In the Egyptian ancient culture, cats are the guard of gates to afterlife/spirit realm. It is safe to assume that they are afraid of them because they came from the other side.

Looking at the symbols on chiseled sandstone upside down it kinda looks like: TBX (in galactic alphabet) which in swedish is a shortened version of: "Go back"

Also: you can find some gunpowder and sand inside the chests of the dessert temple

“Creepers hiss by making a hiss sound” Pretty explanatory totally since seemingly it’s the same thing as A baby is created by a baby not really

Actually creepers have a blurry green vision and imagine you saw a Cat hissed at you while you have creeper vision , the cats can see in the dark by somehow making their eyes glow , this trick applies to scare other creatures too , so creepers May be scared of cats because of their blurry green vision

Dragonic: there's was only one other mob besides the crepper in the game that has fear of cats Phantoms: yes

Him: creepers is a mutated pig Piglins: are we a joke to you?

I think the clue is in "Great Sphinx of Giza" because there seems to be a cat temple standing on the side of the dessert temple. The cat temple is like the king of dessert temples where the creeper was made. This is probably the reason why the creeper is afraid of cats.

I think the creepers were made to defend desert temples since the recipe to make them is on chiseled sandstone bricks. But they escaped from there and started roaming in the wild, and they attack players to defend the desert temples. Since the creepers, a mutated pig, it could be possible that sense cats hunt, guinea pigs, creepers might be afraid that they will mistake them for a giant, guinea pig, so that’s why they’re scared of them

Imagine the minecraft devs saw this and was like: *we just decided to make them fear cats bc we just wanted to lol*

Well my theory is that since creepers were mutated by the Egyptians, they became extremely scared of what they were capable of, so they ran and started attacking players for revenge. The reason they are scared of cats is because in Egyptian culture cats are treated almost like gods, which means that the creeper has a natural fear of cats as they reminds them of the egyptians

Dragonic you have such great and perfectly believable theories!

Your theory with the temple and tnt are really amazing bro! Also they are a moss like substance that canonly make spores to grow more reminds me of some horror apocalypse movie of some sort, would be cool if they somehow made this cannon, like growing new creepers in a sooner update.

“when u see a temple u think of the egyptians” me: Nah man all i think of is bone, sand, flesh, and gapples

"Creeper hiss by making hissing sound" Maybe the Sky is made out of Sky

Cats just love to use Creepers as a scratching post... XD

I think that there were many groups of the Ancient Builders, like the ones that lived in the Ocean, In the Overworld, and the Desert. The people who lived in the Desert created the creepers for defense against the other civilizations. The creepers exploded and spread their spores. Later after the Plague with the Zombies, Skeleton, etc. The Ancient civilizations died and the creepers learned to live with the monsters that were now roaming the Minecraft world. So the Creeper also attacks you because he was also programmed to attack the other civilizations.

My best bet on the chiseled sand stone is that in English it says “noz” Probably refuring to nose, as a hidden joke As for the red chiseled sand stone… it says “AO”… yeah I have no idea either (and yes there’s 2 letters on each end of the wither pic)

“Creepers hiss by making a hissing sound” It seems the floor here is made out of floor Edit: thanks so much for 400 likes!

I love your Vids Dragonic

Btw love your theorys

Another theory: Creepers also drop music discs, I believe it's bcoz ancient builders wanted to store something in creepers with the help of music discs and they fear cats coz usually players have cats with them and then they can't get that info stored in the creepers

This makes even more sense because of the tnt trap that is found in desert temples

You have helped me in Minecraft so much!

I like your theory, cause the chiziled sandstone and the mysterious room in the sides and stuff. 2x1 rooms and stuff.

there's a problem with "exploding cats": creepers aren't really afraid of death, otherwise they wouldn't explode, so there should be something worse than just dying for them

I took a close look at the chiseled sandstone. "XTZ" is what I found. When put upside down, the galactic X is what appears. The middle letter looks a lot like the galactic T, when taken in with a closer look. And the Z just looks very obvious from looking at the chiseled sandstone and the galactic Z.

Well.. If u look closely in the sandstone (chiseled I think) you'll see what looks like the carved out face of a creeper therefore creeper were known then and could be a part of your point of being recreated and for the cats to be protected

your vids r sooo interesting!!

“Creepers *technically* hiss by making a hissing sound” *insert long neck buzz lightyear * Hmmmm yes it hisses by hissing

5:02 Thanks to the Standard Galatic Alphabet. I read a lil bit of the enchantments in the timestamp I put. The first one says: "WATER KLAATL" BUT I'm still working on the rest cause they look like a bit of random words combined.. thanks for letting me know about the Alphabet. Great information if I do say so myself!

Finally it’s time that they solve this long time old mystery

Dragonic: explains the entire lore of creepers everyone else: aww man

Creepers be like: I might be brave and strong but those things scare me

How to win with a creeper: hisssss him back… *Thats it. nothing more.. you won..*

Do you use video guru to edit videos? Just asking.

Here's my take, creepers were made from mutating the pigs by the ancient builders to protect their structures from invaders. Invaders like other ancient builder civilisations. Maybe this is the reason why we find creepers in desert temples and strongholds because both the structures were made by the same kind of ancient builder civilisation. Yes, creepers were programmed to not hurt cats, that's why they run away from them. They aren't afraid, they just don't wanna hurt the cat.

You are so underrated I really appreciate your content and you are definitely one of my favourite RU-vidrs

In Minecraft Dungeons, Ocelots can be seen chasing and hunting Creepers. It is possible that, in addition to what was said in the video, the cats have become their natural predators of the creepers or something like that.

This explains a lot, lol!

I like the hissing theory. Makes the most sense to me.

Some people theorize that's the creeper was created by a witch trying to test on a pig but got the potion wrong.

They're just allergic to cats

Creeper Logic: "Anything that Can Hiss is Explosive."

Creeper: *Hiss by making a hissing sound* "Ah yes, the hiss here is made out of hiss"

The creepers outer shell (the moss) might grow after an explosion then an pig comes and gets "corrupted" after the coruption the pig gets mutated propably only the moss was created by the ancient builders. And the tnt might be an result of residue sand and gunpowder existent in the desert. I can only guess that the desert was the creepers home of creation. The moss might have an catnip like effect to cats and that might be why they run away

I remember the day when creeper killed my favorite cat ); R.i.p Cat 2020-2020

Dragonic: explaining lore How it was actually made: misshaped pig

I love cats and I still agree with the lore! Good job by the way.

i think it's because cats have very powerful instincts and fast reaction time. i mean, the entire purpose of their life is to sneak up, why wouldn't they be scared of something that they couldn't defeat? they are probably scared of accidentally wasting their life on a animal with insane reflexes

Mom, can we get Game Theory? We have Game Theory at home. Game Theory at home:

I swear watching this at night is so scary

2:24: I think he learned from his mistakes but had an aria: turned his mistake into a intentional feature by turning it into a new bib called the creeper anc changed the texture

To add on with the theory, the desert people made the creepers to kill the ancient builders from the sick stuff they did like making the enderman and piglins as slaves, that explains why the other monsters also hated the ancient builder. The ancient builders are overwhelmed and got wiped out But one person survived which is now the player

5:25 I think atz is the closest.

The writing on the creeper block looks like: "Cat"

It's terrifying how much they actually know

Mat Pat said creepers are plants So , plants are scared of cats?

I love your editing and the theory was very convincing!

dog: wont attack creeper cat: hold my milk

My headcanon is that the creeper’s skin is like that of a scratching post (because of it’s rough texture) and feels extreme pain when the cat scratches it. But I can see why it was mutated by the egyptians,but I’ll rather stick with my headcanon because it’s more goofy.

Maybe the "spores" smell like something good to the creepers, so by then they grow into more creepers, they actually walk over to where the player is and see its the player so they explode?

Here's my take, the creepers could of been the guardians of the temples to protect the treasures inside, the little cells around the temples was where they were supposed to stand guard for any intruders. If the creepers couldn't stop the intruders the booby trap is the last resort. But due to the ancient civilization going extinct and creepers being able to multiply, the creeper population got out of hand since the ancient civilization is no longer there to control them. As for the fear of cats, since the ancient civilization is somewhat based on ancient Egyptians, cats are revered as a god in particular Bastet, who was depicted as a fierce lioness warrior and also a goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits. Seeing as how creepers (in present day Minecraft) are evil and also spread like a contagion, Bastet (cat goddess) is the creeper's worst nightmare.

I hear the cave ambience when I watch your videos

2:07 creepers are not moss according to the texture files. In fact if you take a look at the creeper texture file its a more brighter version of the oak leaves texture.

my theory: The creepers were created by the ancient by accident and they hated the creeper but worshiped the cat, The creeper was jealous and started hating/fearing the cat Or maybe the creeper had a crush on the cat

Maybe it’s just primal instincts? Like maybe prehistoric creepers were hunted by giant cats

Somehow I never knew creepers run away from cats before this video. Good to know so creepers don't destroy my base

I think the first creeper was a human who owned a cat but hated it then he got used for an experiment with moss and TNT but they did not let let his arms come back. He remembered everything. But sometimes he couldn’t control him self some times. So his new body made him scared of cats. That is my theory. Hope you tell everyone on next video. Also love this vid. Can’t wait for more videos. See you very soon. But very ASAP bro!

creepers actually don't wanna hurt players they want to hug players but they don't know hoe to hug so they explode plus they have a sad face on them

Well I came up with some adjustments for your theory 1: creepers were made to protect the valuable loot on the temples 2: they are scared of cats not because they where not supposed to hurt them , but because cats herded them 3: the ancient people didn't infect pigs, but mummies Otherwise, nice theory

Video idea:Why zombies and husk and drowned crush turtle eggs

you are so smart! That make so much sense!?!!

"Well that is just a theory, A GAME THEORY! AAAAAAAND, CUT!"

*" Creepers hiss. "* _"HMMMM, This window is maybe made out of window, modernly made out of the window with a window. "_

"green stuff on the creeper's surface might be the skin or outer covering of the creeper." *Ah yes, the floor is made out of floor*

speaking of desert temples and red sandstone, maybe there might be a such thing as a red desert temple?

short version: ancient Egyptians loved cats and they built temples that had tnt in. creepers were alive and the Egyptians didn't want creepers to die or blow up cats so they made the creepers have a fear of cats

The last symbol on the shiseld sandstone is T and it’s 3 letters!

06:38 I think players are not ancient builders since we can respawn

when i started minecraft it once showed creepers are spies on the main menu (it shows random stuff right?)

My theory is that Mojang added the feature of creepers being scared of cats to give people a reason to go tame them. Other than that, and being absolutely adorable, (I'm a cat person) there's not really a reason to spend time trying to find one, unlike wolves who will willingly fight for you.

Theory of herobrine: Herobrine is one of the ancient builders who was dead and now his soul is stopping the players (us) to do anything to his world

I got the thumbnail as a poster in my room as a child I still have it

"the green stuff on the creeper's surface might be the skin or outer covering of the creeper" By golly, he's figured it out.

Wait... You said the people who made the creeper put the "tnt" inside it. So how do creepers explode if they now multiply naturally and there is nobody to put the tnt inside of them anymore?

Imagine not watching Dragonic, *couldn't be me*

Cat: HIIIIISSSSSSSsssss. Creeper: oh shit sorry man.

5:37 the chiseled sandstone it has that black creature destorys everything its like the creeper the creeper destorys less tho

I feel like the creepers weren't programmed to fear cats. I think that the creepers are scared because cats hung out with the players who morphed them into monsters. In other words, they are scared of cats because it could mean that players are nearby too. With this you'd probably think "why do creepers not fear players then?" and to that I say idk. Maybe when they see a player they just have a grudge against them so they try to kill them

* looks at my cat * Please don't explode * cat looks back at me... menacingly *

I decoded the message and it says DOT and I noticed that in the creeper logo on the sandstone has a misplaced dot, the left eye's eyeball/dot is misplaced so maybe notch felt bad that he misplaced it and told us that it is misplaced.

5:21 Those symbols could be upside down, which then would mean N - G - E Googling that with "meaning" could mean "Not Good Enough" or "New Game Experience". ^^

this theory is very similar to mat pat's theory

But hey, that's just a theory. A Game Theory! Same conclusion.

I think that the creeper experiment was used to protect the temple, why they added TNT into the creepers, and maybe they scared of cats because Egyptians worshipped them and the creepers were too scared to hurt them as that would betray their creators.
