creeps
Inches along silently
Creeps is a noun for unsettling people who make others uncomfortable, often through inappropriate attention or behavior: That guy at the bar was giving me the creeps.
To give someone the creeps or get the creeps is to experience or cause a feeling of unease or revulsion.
The singular creep works the same way: He's such a creep.
