'''Grim Creeper''' (ピッコロ使い, ''Piccolo User'') is a cowardly mini-boss. [[Link]] encounters him midway through the [[Eagle's Tower]] dungeon of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. After a short introduction, Grim Creeper proceeds to use a [[flute]] to call [[Keese#Physical Differences|six Big Keese]] to aid/hide behind. To defeat them, Link must destroy the Keese before they leave the screen. If he misses any, he has to try again. Any weapon will do, but the sword is by far the easiest to use. Once all the Keese are destroyed in one blow, Grim Creeper flees, but not permanently. He comes back to ride [[Evil Eagle]] in the final boss battle in Eagle's Tower.
