Skills, Abilities and Weaknesses[]

Mechanical Intuition: Gremlins have the ability to build and rework machines with "no real rhyme or reason to how they worked"[13] acting more like saboteurs.[14] Examples include...

  • The Hollywoodland sign, which now glowed iridescent green exploded into sparks and rockets and occasionally launches itself into the sky,[15]
  • a sabotaged-car-deathtrap with arms made of the raw pistons and machinery of the automobile which flipped itself over opened like a flower and sent it's occupants to the center of the contraption collapsing into a tight ball.[16]
  • an aluminum bazooka[17] which can fire spinning hunks of metal linking together, breaking down it's target and boxing it up, complete with a red metal ribbon.[18]
  • flying machines made with whatever they can get their hands on and no two looking the same, such as one looking like a lopsided disc or another like a cross between rocket and a bulldozer.[19]
  • can tinker freely with killer robots[20]

Conversion: can turn humans into Gremlins by webbing them up in a "snot cocoon".[10]

Bright lights: phobia, bright lights will cause Gremlins to panic and flee.[21]

Sunlight: weakness, Sunlight will melt a Gremlin,[22] can be somewhat mitigated by using a parasol.[2]
