These little beasts are described as being pretty small and very big big pointy ears. The best way to describe them is that they are miniature gargoyles without wings. They hide from people and listen to their conversations and stories, so they know the best time to mess them up. Most of their pranks are harmless, like hiding wallets or keys. They really love to sit and watch people in frustration as they look for their missing items. Every so often, these miniature monsters pranks can have very terrible outcomes. Sometimes if they find fire, they can try to play a prank and stuff catches flame. They love to play around with wagons and their messing with the the foundations of houses and wheels on carts can cause their meddling to have a deadly and tragic end.In this age, gadgets are continuously being created – gadgets that these little monsters see as just one more opportunity to tinker and play around with. These creature can not be controlled but it can be captured and taken as prisoner. This is still not a very good choice, seeing what they do to property. This is all done so they can frustrate the users and enjoy the show of panic as the fruits of their mischievous ways unfold.
Generally found anywhere dark or shady such as caves and under houses.
Origin
Gremlins were often portrayed as lonely creatures seeking attention. They often used jokes and pranks as a means of attracting friendship from both animals and descendants, which often backfired when people became tired or annoyed of the gremlin's endeavors, usually driving it away.Even if the gremlin was successful in getting the friendship it sought, it often still played pranks and jokes on its friend, either out of boredom or simply because this was the nature of the imp. This trait gave way to using the term "you little gremlin" for someone who loves pranks and practical jokes.
Gremlins have also been described as being "bound" or contained in some sort of object, such as a sword or crystal ball by a powerful contract magic.
Behavior
They will pull pranks on any living beings within the nearby vicinity of their nest, mostly alone, but sometimes in a pack of twos or threes. They will use any tools that travelers may have dropped or gifted them, but they are incapable of making their own. They tend to be the most active around the dark, or when the moon reaches its zenith.
