~ Creek to Branch.
Thank you, Poppy. I’m selling you out.
~ Creek admitting he’s selling out Poppy and the other Trolls.
Creek: Believe me, I wish there some other, me-not-getting-eaten way.
Chef: But there isn’t.
Creek: And now I have to live with this for the rest of my life... At least you get to die with a clear conscience. So, in a way, you could say, I'm doing this for you. Boop!

Biography

Trolls

Because of a huge loud party that Poppy threw, Creek, along with a minority of the Trolls, were captured by Chef, a Bergen who was banished from Bergen Town by King Gristle Sr. for the Trolls' escape that occurred 20 years ago. Chef was able to locate and capture the Trolls thanks to Poppy's partying antics. Poppy and Branch set out to rescue the captured Trolls. They managed to save all but Creek, whom they thought was eaten by Gristle Sr.'s son and the current leader of the Bergens King Gristle. Later whilst Gristle was on a date with "Lady Glitter Sparkles" (in reality his scullery maid Bridget), Poppy and the other Trolls (who were using their hair to make Bridget's colorful), saw Creek trapped in a gem on the King's cloak.

The Trolls stole the gem, but found the gem empty. Just then, Chef appeared and trapped them, revealing that Creek is alive and is selling out his fellow Trolls to save himself, to which Creek confirms. Poppy angrily demands an explanation for this, to which Creek explained that he previously had to save himself from being eaten by Gristle by offering to lead Chef and the Bergens to the Trolls' hiding place, a proposal that Chef happily accepted. Creek tells Poppy that he wished that there was another "me not getting eaten" way, but there isn't and that he has to live this choice for the rest of his life and says to Poppy that he is doing this for her as she dies with a clear conscience knowing that. Creek is last seen returning to the Trolls' village, where he rings Poppy's cowbell in order to trick Poppy's father King Peppy and the other Trolls into thinking that Poppy has returned, only for them to be captured by the Bergens.

Creek is never seen, heard, nor mentioned again for the rest of the movie, due to being absent during the film's dramatic climax. But at the end of the movie, Poppy forms a peace between the Trolls and Bergens, and Chef is banished out of the Bergen town into the wilderness on a serving cart, and it was revealed that Creek was remaining in Chef's pouch for the remainder of the day. In the mid-credits scene, Chef turned against Creek and tried to eat him, but before she could do so, a monster (shaped like a hill they're standing on) devoured them both and receiving his comeuppance against his treachery against the trolls.

Creek has recently been revealed to have survived this encounter somehow and went through an official redemption act, though he and Branch still have a natural rivalry/dislike of one another, however, he does not make an appearance in Trolls World Tour, likely making the events of Trolls: The Beat Goes On non-canon.

Trolls: The Beat Goes On

Creek returns in the non-canon Netflix series, which takes place after Trolls. In Creek Week, Creek was later shown to have somehow survived being eaten by the hill monster and returns to Troll Village to be welcomed back after apologizing and that he has strong fears especially when the lives of his friends are in danger. Creek came back and said he is very sorry for betraying them, which works out.

Personality

Creek is the most clever, positive, supportive, reassuring, and sympathetic Troll in all of Troll Village, approaching everything with Zen like wisdom. At first he is shown to be calm, polite, collected, thoughtful, friendly, and capable. But being beloved by everyone sometimes has its drawbacks, and literally lands Creek in hot water. This is later shown to be a façade to hide his true nature: a treacherous, cowardly, and evil trickster who is willing to kill his own race and become Chef's assistant as long as he survives.

Appearance

Creek has purple skin, violet eyes, blue/turquoise/green hair, dark blue eyebrows, and wears bright yellow trousers.

Quotes

Creek: I don’t wanna die! Don’t eat me! Eat someone else! Anyone else! Everyone else! But not me!
Chef: But the king wants to be happy now.
Creek: Wait! Wait! There must be some other way. I’ll do anything.
~ Creek cowardly begging for his life, willing to let other Trolls die so he can live.

Trivia

  • In Poppy's scrapbook, there is a picture of Creek with hearts around it. Meaning that prior to his betrayal, Poppy had feelings for Creek.
  • If Chef's plan had worked (which was to make the entire kingdom eat all the trolls), probably Creek would also have been eaten too, revealing Chef's betrayal of her deal with Creek.
  • Originally, Creek was going to be an elderly female Troll named Miss Guffin, who would have been Poppy's former nanny who raised her since she was a baby. This may have been changed specifically to make the betrayal scene less traitorous and cruel for the context.
  • In the Junior Novelization of Trolls, Creek has a different fate. Instead of being supposedly being eaten by a monster along with Chef, Creek is instead used as a scrubbing brush by her.
