When a dark creeper dies, it combusts in a flash of bright white light, and each creature within 10 feet of it must make a DC 13  Constitution  saving throw or be  blinded  for one minute.

Although of the same race as the dark creepers, dark stalkers are taller, more courageous, and possibly more intelligent. They share many of the same cultural attitudes, an unwillingness to be nude, an acceptance of murder and cannibalism, and general unhygienic ways of their diminutive brethren. A group of dark creepers led by a dark stalker is a deadly force of assassins, marauders, and raiders made bolder by the presence of their taller kin.'
