Creeper is a non-hostile Scamp living with a party of Orcs in Ghorak Manor in Caldera. He is a merchant, and has a selection of drinks for sale, but is most notable for being one of only two creature merchants (along with the Mudcrab Merchant). This means that, lacking Disposition and Mercantile skills, he will always buy and sell items at their exact base cost, instead of adjusting them to his advantage. This makes him the ideal vendor to sell your goods to.

[edit] Notes

• While his 5000 gold may not be enough to get the full value for some of the more expensive items, there are a few ways to make up for this:
  • Sell him cheaper items first, then wait a day, come back and buy the cheaper items back from him and then use his temporarily increased gold stash to sell the more expensive things. You can then sell him back the cheaper items the next day.
  • Sell him gold. This will increase his gold supply for a longer period of time, during which you can sell him your more expensive items.
  • There are also numerous 3rd-party mods available which make him rich enough to afford the more expensive items.

• As a creature, Creeper is one of the few merchants who will purchase Skooma (but not Moon Sugar, since he doesn't deal in ingredients).

• Creeper may be Barbas, the hound of Clavicus Vile. In Clavicus Vile's Oblivion quest, Barbas says "For a while I was a scamp, making deals with Orcs".
• There are a few reports saying that the Creeper's inventory can reset, ie all the items you have sold him will disappear forever. Don't sell him anything you aren't willing to lose. ^{[verification needed -- I've never seen his inventory reset even after a couple of hundred days in-game. Has anybody actually seen this?]}
