Summary
Gremlins are small monsters who serve as the main antagonists of the Gremlins franchise. In Gremlins and Gremlins 2, gremlins spawned by the hundreds, terrorizing the people of Kingston Falls. Mogwai turn into gremlins if they were allowed to eat after midnight (in which timeframe after midnight is uncertain), in which case they develop cocoons and turn into gremlins.
