The text describes how creepers were created as an accident when creating a pig mob for the popular video game 'Minecraft'. The creator of the game, Markus Persson (also known as notch), accidentally swapped the length and height dimensions in the code while working on early versions of the game. This resulted in a strange-looking creature with long legs and a large head.

Instead of deleting this error, Persson decided to keep it in the game and even gave it some unique features. He added green texture that was believed to be based on an in-game leaves texture which made them look like small plants or mushrooms moving around.

When players got too close, these strange creatures would suddenly explode! This surprised many gamers who weren't expecting such a sudden turn of events while playing their favorite game.

The creepers quickly became popular among fans due to their comical appearance and ability to sneak up on unsuspecting players before blowing them away. They've since appeared in numerous forms across various media platforms including TV shows, movies, books etc., cementing themselves as one of the most recognizable symbols associated with Minecraft today!
