creep
The AI minions and jungle monsters you farm for gold and XP.
Definitions
AI-controlled units in a MOBA. Lane creeps march down the lanes in waves; neutral creeps sit in the jungle waiting to be cleared. Killing them feeds you gold and experience. The bread and butter of farming.
Mostly Dota 2 lingo. League calls them minions in lane and monsters in the jungle, but the wider scene still says creep across the board.
