creepers

Ivy and wisteria

Creepers are plants that grow along the ground or climb surfaces by clinging: ivy and other creepers covered the wall.

The word extends to shoes with soft soles, and in plural, to a one-piece garment for infants.

In the video game Minecraft, a creeper is a hostile creature that silently approaches and explodes.

Someone creepy may be called a creeper: That guy's a total creeper.
