“Well,” Chris Creeper sighed, “creepers used to be humans. We were once just people who were skilled in working with gunpowder. When the players came, we were all peaceful at first. We traded our gunpowder with them. Then, one day, the players grew greedy. They wanted our gunpowder for themselves. They captured us and experimented on us. When they were done, there were none of us left as humans. We had all become these green monsters. Now we are cursed to walk this earth this way forever.”
Steve was speechless for a moment as he absorbed this information and quickly scribbled it down. He quickly thought of another question. “Um, so, why do you explode?”
“Because we anger very easily,” replied Chris Creeper. “Part of the curse.”
“So, if I anger you...” started Steve. The creeper began to hiss and expand. “Never mind!” said Steve. “Thanks for the interview! See you around!”

“​Farmer Iggy watched—in absolute horror—as she began to cough up blood and phlegm. Her mouth became caked with vile-smelling fluid. Her stomach bulged, convulged, quivered, and then expanded—she hadn't even been pregnant moments earlier, but suddenly it looked as though she were filled to bursting with a brood of offspring! The whole affair, the whole mess of it, however... it wasn't in any way wonderful or miraculous. It was wrong, somehow terrible, and Farmer Iggy found himself backing away from the convulsing animal—“Oh, oh no, oh Mama, w-what... what did I do to you? Mama?!” ​The scream that emerged from Mama Rabbit's mouth as she fell over onto her side was that of a fully-grown human woman. A chill froze the farmer's spine, and then he turned around and fled into his house, leaving his beloved prize rabbit to cough, convulse, and die, in the dust and the grass of the rabbit hutch. He knew—he knew she was gone; how could she not be, with what he had seen? But, had he had the courage to remain outside and be with Mama Rabbit in her final moments, he would have witnessed the impossible—a bittersweet miracle. For, as Mama Rabbit breathed her final breaths, she actually did give birth to—not one—but two little baby rabbit kittens. ​The first one was big and white, with odd black markings about its face and hindquarters. It looked in every respect like a healthy young rabbit kit, conceived in the usual way, and born after the appropriate term—neither of which, of course, it had been. However, had it resulted from any other circumstances, and had Farmer Iggy been there to see it, he might have regarded it as a fine prize: an obviously exceptional young rabbit, even by the standards he'd come to have set for Mama Rabbit's kits. ​The second rabbit was small, a runt. It was pure white, without a marking on it, and it looked soft, beautiful, and gentle—until it opened its eyes.”

“eyes were slitted horizontally, like no rabbit's should have been—and they were a deep, dark red, like Mama Rabbit's eyes had gone, just before she ultimately ate the strange golden carrot that had killed her. And, after it was born, the little white rabbit opened its mouth, and coughed up blood—blood that was not its own. ​Blood that dripped from long, sharp canines, the likes of which no rabbit should have had.”
