List of Gremlins

rdfs:comment

Mogwai and Gremlins are described in the films to originate from Western Asia as part of Chinese mythology. The word "Mogwai" is Chinese for "demon". Mogwai appear as small rodents, resembling anthropomorphic hamsters or guinea pigs and are generally similar in appearance, but can have their own individual features. There appear to be two types of Mogwai, gentle types like Gizmo, and the more aggressive and troublesome type like the Mogwai that are spawned by Gizmo in the two films. The films include three rules that owners of Mogwai must acknowledge in order to look after them properly. These rules are neglected and abused in both films, Gizmo's owner, Mr. Wing, proclaiming that the United States of America is not ready to raise Mogwai. These three rules are: Gremlins are tall, scaly-skinned creatures with large ears resembling bat wings, have fanged mouths, and a seemingly instinctive desire to cause havoc at the cost of humanity. Gremlins may keep some of their physical features from when they were Mogwai. Gremlins are very anarchic creatures, although some can seemingly be doing it for fun, whilst others like Stripe are more deliberately sadistic and violent. Gremlins also display little care for their own species or others, willing to shoot their own kind to get a laugh out of it. Gremlins can be killed particularly easily. The Gremlins shown in the films are killed via a gas explosion in a cinema the first film, and via electrocution in second film.

Mogwai and Gremlins are described in the films to originate from Western Asia as part of Chinese mythology. The word "Mogwai" is Chinese for "demon". Mogwai appear as small rodents, resembling anthropomorphic hamsters or guinea pigs and are generally similar in appearance, but can have their own individual features. There appear to be two types of Mogwai, gentle types like Gizmo, and the more aggressive and troublesome type like the Mogwai that are spawned by Gizmo in the two films. The films include three rules that owners of Mogwai must acknowledge in order to look after them properly. These rules are neglected and abused in both films, Gizmo's owner, Mr. Wing, proclaiming that the United States of America is not ready to raise Mogwai. These three rules are: * Do not expose Mogwai to bright lights. The reaction causes a Mogwai or Gremlin to either be killed via a gruesome melting process, as seen with Stripe in the first film, until the creature's own skeleton melts away. If exposed briefly, a Mogwai or Gremlin shows fright. Gizmo shows a deep dislike towards bright lights. The Gremlins are shown to be afraid of simply lit matches and fire. * Do not get a Mogwai wet. The reaction with water, causes Mogwai or Gremlins to spawn other Mogwai. However, the creatures will spawn the same creature (e.g. A Mogwai spawns more Mogwai, a Gremlin spawns more Gremlins). * Do not feed a Mogwai after midnight. Mogwai seem to instinctively desire to eat after midnight in order to advance to the Gremlin stage of their evolution, the original batch in the first film tricking Billy Peltzer into feeding them after midnight by altering the time on his alarm clock. Upon feeding after midnight, the Mogwai become encased in cocoons and go through a metamorphosis into the Gremlin form. Gremlins are tall, scaly-skinned creatures with large ears resembling bat wings, have fanged mouths, and a seemingly instinctive desire to cause havoc at the cost of humanity.
