A '''creeping mound''', {{yellow|{}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. The creeping mound is an [[omnivorous]] [[Plant (EvilHack)|plant-like]] [[woodland creature]] that [[Eyeless|lacks eyes]] and [[Headless|has no head]]. It has a tendency to wander while moving, and it can engulf objects that it comes across similar to a [[gelatinous cube]]: a creeping mound can digest most [[organic]] objects, restoring HP in the process, but it will not digest any [[glob]]s or [[egg]]s that cause [[sliming]] or [[stoning]], will not engulf corpses that cause stoning, and will cause [[Rider]] corpses to [[revive]].<br />
<br />
Creeping mounds have a claw attack and an [[engulfing]] attack that tries to [[Strangulation|suffocate]] the victim, and possess [[poison resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[cold resistance]], [[fire resistance]], [[drain resistance]], [[immunity to sickness]], and a [[vulnerability]] to [[acid]].<br />
<br />
==Generation==<br />
Randomly generated creeping mounds are always hostile, and will not be created in [[Gehennom (EvilHack)|Gehennom]].<br />
<br />
Creeping mounds appear among the {{white|{}} that are part of the second [[quest]] [[monster class]] for [[Druid]]s and make up {{frac|6|175}} of randomly generated monsters on the [[Druid quest]].<br />
<br />
The creeping mound is the only plant-like creature to leave a [[corpse]] upon death.<br />
<br />
==Encyclopedia entry==<br />
