Creepers contain large amounts of gunpowder. They most likely obtain this gunpowder through the biological mixing of various food components. Their body uses chemical reactions to set this gunpowder off in defensive situations. In other words, when a human is nearby, they walk up to it, hiss for a minute (the noise is the chemical reaction igniting the gunpowder), expand a bit, and explode.
