Grim Creeper



The Grim Creeper is a skeleton and a character that appears in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, he has a black body, while in the game's Nintendo Switch remake, he has a purple body. He appears as the guardian in the third floor of the Eagle's Tower. He stands on the ledge in the room and plays a piccolo which makes Big Keese fly into the room. When all of the Big Keese fly into the room he stops playing and moves his piccolo forward in a thrusting position, which makes the Big Keese attack Link. After all of the Big Keese attack Link if not all of the Big Keese are defeated he laughs. The first time this happens he tells Link that he can continue bringing Big Keese if at least one is left. If the player defeats all of the Big Keese in a set he runs off screen. In the Nintendo Switch remake, he vanishes leaving a purple mist.

The Grim Creeper reappears on top of the Eagle's Tower with two Big Keese. Once the Evil Eagle appears he jumps on it. Once the Evil Eagle is defeated he warns Link that he and Link are in the Wind Fish's dream and the Link will be lost if the Wind Fish wakes up. The Grim Creeper and the Evil Eagle explode and a Heart Container appears.
