Gremlin

7 variants

Small, mischievous creatures that swarm and commit acts of mischief. Gremlins are a plague to those around them as they annoy and harass and prank all around. Think of a Goblin, only smaller, smarter, and more organized. In other words, a pain in the neck.

Gremlin illustration

Small and Annoying

They are Goblin-like creatures that have indistinguishable sexes and their skin color ranges from shades of brown, black, and gray—frequently in a mottled blend. They have large and pointed ears. Gremlins are built to be quick and small to the sorrow of all around them.

The Worst Past Times

Gremlins spend their time thinking about how to anger others. They get pleasure from successful pranks, malicious pit falls, and making a nuisance of themselves. Even a so-called benign Gremlin is still a massive headache to deal with. Even in combat they would rather harass, trap, or sabotage their enemies than face them head on.

A Tragic Start

Gremlins are the creation of an ancient Formorian king that captured and used taboo rituals to torture and change Goblins in a failed experiment. The new creatures were supposed to have been exterminated but they escaped and proved too difficult to recapture and eradicate. Even thousands of years later, Gremlins are still hunted and many would love nothing more than to drive them to extinction.
