The Creeperian Genocide, also known as La'Gran Matanza, was the Creeperian Civil War genocide of Creeperian Catholics, Romerists, and Salvadorans. Between 1933 and 1949, across Miguelist controlled territories of Creeperopolis, the Miguelists systematically murdered around 9 to 11 million Catholics, Romerists, and Salvadorans, along with any Miguelist dissidents or deserters. The murders were carried out in pogroms, mass executions, mass shootings, and by a policy of extermination through labor in quarries, farmland, and mines.

The Siege of San Salvador saw the 1947 San Salvador Massacre and was the deadliest battle of the Creeperian Civil War.

Massacres, looting, and pillaging were also commonly committed by the Miguelists such as the 1944 La'Libertad Massacre, the 1947 San Salvador Massacre, and the 1948 Burning of San Salvador.

The genocide was pushed for by Miguelist Emperors Miguel VII and Marcos I and was carried out by the Creeperian Armed Forces loyal to the Miguelists, with assistance from the separatist Senvarian Liberation Front.

Groups such as the Creeperian People's Catholic Front, also known as the Cristeros, were created to fight against the Miguelists and their genocide.

The Romerist Emperor, Romero I, was killed during the Siege of San Salvador and is considered the "greatest Romerist loss" of the Creeperian Genocide. He would be canonized as a saint by Pope Juan Pablo II in 1983 as Creeperopolis' patron saint.

Denial of the genocide is illegal in Creeperopolis and is punishable by death.
