Creek is the former friend and crush of Poppy and the hidden secondary antagonist in Trolls. He is voiced by Russell Brand.
Background
Personality
he is gay
Creek's P.O.V
Creek first appears when Branch is being rude to Poppy. He instantly talks to him, telling the fellow Branch to try having more positivity but Branch doesn't like it. As Branch throws a small fit and stomps away, Creek tells Poppy to not let his negative vibrations affect her, and playfully boops her nose.
During the lit party, Creek throws a sparkling glitter ball. The second one he throws lands on Smidge, but Smidge is still dank.
Because of Poppy's party, Creek gets taken by Chef (the Bergen who was banished from Bergen Town twenty years previously by King Gristle Sr. for the Trolls escaping from them). Poppy desperately tries to save him and he yells out her name for help, but he was instantly stuffed in her fanny pack along with the other Trolls who were captured.
Poppy and Branch set out to rescue the captured Trolls. They managed to save all but Creek, whom they thought was eaten by King Gristle Jr., but later saw him trapped in a gem. The Trolls stole the gem but found the gem empty. Just then, Chef appeared and trapped them, and Creek was revealed to have betrayed his fellow Trolls to save himself from being eaten after being strangled by Branch. Poppy then strangles him and demands an explanation for his betrayal.
Creek tells Poppy that he wished that there was another way to avoid getting eaten, but there isn't and he will have to live with his choice for the rest of his life and that the princess and her friends should with a clear mind know what was about to happen. Creek reminded Poppy that he was only doing all of THIS for HER.
He then takes Poppy's cowbell and returns to the Trolls village and uses it in order to trick Poppy's father, King Peppy and the rest of the Trolls into thinking that Poppy has returned, making them come out of hiding. They are all then captured by Chef and her Bergen helpers. After Poppy and the other Trolls make peace with the Bergens, Creek, along with Chef is knocked out of the Bergen castle.
Chef then betrays Creek by trying to eat him, but before this can happen, both are eaten alive by a hill monster.
Appearance
Creek has purple skin, grey-blue eyes, long straight blue hair with a green and teal tip, and wears bright yellow trousers. He has thick blue eyebrows and a large, orange-like nose.
Trivia
- Creek probably knew that Poppy liked him as he would playfully, slightly flirtatiously, and secretly evilly, "boop" her nose. like the way Dave from Penguins of Madagascar would do the boop to Private.
- Even though Poppy formerly had a crush on him, Creek never liked her. He might have pretended to, but we can see that in the film when he betrays Poppy and her friends. If he loved her back, why would he betray her?
- He might have done so in order to save his own skin and somewhat allowed Poppy to be eaten just to have her heartache stopped immediately all at the cost of losing his chance of being Prince.
- Creek was and still is, strongly disliked by Branch. This is because Poppy had a crush on Creek earlier in the film. Branch secretly liked Poppy, so he was most likely jealous. This can be seen when at the beginning when Creek mocks him, making Branch scowl, roll his eyes, and\or grumble. But everything turns out okay in the end and Branch pretty much, "gets the girl".
- Despite being eaten by a monster and being believed to be dead by many, there is a slight possibility that Creek used his hair to save himself and escape before he landed, therefore he just might be alive. However, this has yet to be confirmed.
- It is shown that his survival is indeed confirmed as he is to appear in Trolls 2, though how he escaped is unknown at the moment.
- Given his selfishness, Creek may have considered being with Poppy to become a prince, since she was a princess.
- Creek is similar to Bellwether from Zootopia:
- Both had pretended to be on the good side until they revealed their true self.
- Both betrayed the protagonist and helped to exuberance the situation (Creek betrayed Poppy to get every Troll living get stolen, Bellwether betrayed Judy to dart every predator in Zootopia)
- Both had their plans fail and they are thrown out of the fun (Creek gets burned and eaten by a hill monster, Bellwether goes to prison with non-serious cellmates.)
- Creek is similar to King Candy from Wreck-it-Ralph:
- Both pretended to be a kind person, hiding their diabolical self.
- Both have faked their deaths and turned to the dark side since.
- Both betray the princesses, with their main goal is to kill them (Poppy and Vanellope)
