Behavior[]
Abactor Creepers are one of the few mobs (excluding Endermen) that can pick up items, but are among the very few that can actually use what they pick up. This is limited to certain items, but they can use anything they pick up. They generally live in groups upwards of 7 members. Because they do not explode, wolves and dogs can safely attack them. Cats are useful for keeping them away from beef farms.
Similarly to the current Creeper AI, Abactor Creepers will walk around ditches or pitfalls, though they can also avoid entering fire/lava traps or pressure plates that activate dispensers. This makes it very difficult to get rid of them with traps, so it is best to just kill them in combat. They will also avoid any nearby Withers.
Abactor Creepers always have a place they gather in when they have collected enough beef. (They have hunger bars like the Player.) This is usually a hole in the ground, which leads to a 7 x 7 x 7 sphere covered in acacia wood with a staircase leading to the bottom. There will usually be around 5-6 Abactor Creepers in said area, but they will all flee outside if you enter it. There are usually chests hidden under the acacia wood blocks, filled with beef and other mob drops.
Abactor Creepers attack all cows within a 20-block range, ramming into them to deal damage. Though they only deal 1 
on Normal/2.5 on Hard, they are capable of outrunning and thereby killing cows with enough time. After collecting the beef drops, they return to their group to eat it raw. If attacked by a player, dispenser, ect., they run away.

Habitat[]
Abactor Creepers live in grassy, flat, sunny areas. Every group of them always consists of at least 7 Abactor Creepers. They cannot be found at night, even if there are nearby cows.
Trivia[]
- Iron Golems will attack Abactor Creepers since they do not explode. Henceforth, it is helpful to keep some around in case some Abactor Creepers are lurking around.
- The word abactor itself pertains to cows.
- Abactor Creepers walk at the same speed as the Player and Ice Creepers.
