Creek is the secondary antagonist of the 2016 DreamWorks Animated film Trolls and a recurring character of Trolls: The Beat Goes On. He is the longstanding adviser for the trolls, however, he secretly worked with Chef, who threatened his life.

He is voiced by Russel Brand.

History[]

Creek, along with many Trolls, was captured by Chef, a Bergen who was banished from Bergen Town twenty years previously by King Gristle Sr. for the Trolls (which the Bergens ate) escaping from them.

Poppy and Branch set out to rescue the captured Trolls. They managed to save all but Creek, whom they thought was eaten by King Grisle 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 thus revealing himself for who he really is: a cowardly traitor. Creek tells Poppy that he wished that there was another "me not getting eaten" way, but there isn't. Now he has to live this choice for the rest of his life.

He then takes Poppy's cowbell and returns to the Trolls village and rings it 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 Chef and the Bergens. After Poppy and the other Trolls make peace with the Bergens, Creek, along with Chef are knocked out of the Bergen castle. Chef turned against Creek and tried to eat him, but before she could do so, a monster devoured them both which gave him comeuppance for his treachery against the Trolls.

Personality[]

Creek is in the first half of the movie shown to be wise, trusted, zen-like, honest, good-natured, loving, supportive, positive, heroic and comedic, while Branch (one of the Main Protaginosts) is shown to be grumpy, spiteful, arrogant, twisted, antagonistic, cold-hearted, and harsh. Creek was also shown to be romantic and handsome as he was flirting with Poppy, It is revealed that Poppy loved Creek more than Branch (Poppy's true love interest). However, near the end of the movie, Creek's true nature is revealed, and he is shown to be cowardly, treacherous, manipulative, tyrannical, nasty, pathetic, sly, cocky, and egotistical while Branch is shown to be nice, helpful, good, heroic, charming, jolly, joyfully, respectfully, intelligent and serious. In one of Creek's posters, Creek has his hands shaped evil-ish-like, foreshadowing his true intentions and suggesting his betrayal, also he can sometimes act gay, as when he said to Branch "Why don't you try a little bit of positivity mate, a little bit of positivity might go with that vest" where he was acting a little gay and girly to Branch. However, there could be predictions that Creek reformed as in the last scene, he was betrayed by Chef, before being eaten, so he presumably became positive again.

Trivia[]
