Creeperian Zahleans (Arabic: زاحفيان زاحفيان, Creeperian: Զըհլեանս Ծրեեպերիանոս) are predominantly Zahleans whose ancestry traces back to the immigration of Creeperans to Zahle during the 20th century. The vast majority of Creeperian immigrants came to Zahle during the Creeperian Civil War as refugees who were welcomed due to Zahle's need of laborers during its industrialization. Many of these refugees were unable to return home after the Civil War as the Zahle government blocked their return, out of fear of losing their labor pool.
