They are capable of working (and sabotaging) complex machinery and devices, as apparent in folklore where they were believed to have brought down hundreds of planes. Their intelligence and strength vary and they are all very mischievous, violent and fun loving. And they also have a small tail, and color may vary which can be in either various shades of green, brown, and black. They are about one meter tall and they have scaly reptile-like skin, large bat-like ears, three sharp claws on their feet and hands and equally sharp teeth.
It is said that the gremlins are considered to be an unwanted side-effect from when the Mogwais were created on a faraway planet to be used as ambassadors of peace on other planets. For this reason, both Gremlins and Mogwai are naturally scared of bright lights.Ī gremlin is the last stage of the Gremlin life cycle which goes from Mogwai-Cocoon-Gremlin. The Gremlins' main weakness is exposure to direct sunlight, which causes them to melt into puddles of goo and kills them in the process. Gremlins do love destruction though and will happily tear apart electrical equipment, hijack vehicles and ambush people - attacking them with their sharp teeth and claws. Other foods they enjoy to eat are chicken legs, frozen yogurt, and a sandwich with ham, cheese, and lettuce. They much prefer to raid human homes and stores for sweet foodstuffs such as candy or cookies. Gremlins are also somewhat carnivorous and bloodthirsty, though in general Gremlins are not out to devour human flesh. In the second film, due to genetic-engineering, a number of other unique Gremlins were "born" - amongst them was the Brain Gremlin, who was stereotypically civilized yet also brutal in his methods: becoming a spokesman of sorts for his kind.Īlthough almost universally dangerous and corrupt, Gremlins actually have a fairly innocent beginning as the furry critters known as mogwai, when a mogwai becomes wet or is fed after midnight, a Gremlin is born and their physiology and behavioral patterns alter dramatically. The most powerful of the Gremlins in the original film was the manipulative but deadly " Stripe". The Gremlins also had a primitive social-structure with more cunning and vicious members gaining higher rank via bullying or outright murder. They are largely unknown reptilian goblin-like creatures. These monsters were notable for being mischievous and chaotic, obsessed with destruction and cruel practical jokes. They are based very loosely on the mythological creatures said to vex aircrafts. The Gremlins are the titular antagonists of the popular film franchise of the same name.
