Tar Creeper

Tar Creeper is a neutral minion card, from the Journey to Un'Goro set.

Strategy
Tar Creeper is a powerful defensive card, being fairly weak on the controlling player's turn but making up for it by acting as a cheaper Sen'jin Shieldmasta on the opponent's turn. It works an excellent on-curve play in an Elemental deck, being both high value for its cost and boosting cards like Tol'vir Stoneshaper on your next turn. Since Arena decks tend to have less large removal, playing a Tar Creeper on curve can often force the opponent to sacrifice their entire board, or to pass until they find a way to deal with this minion.

Lore
s are s found near the in. They share a model with s in World of Warcraft, but appear to instead be Elementals made of tar in Hearthstone.
