Description

Gremlins are tiny bipedal gobloids that vaguely resemble miniature goblins with grayish skin. Gremlin history claims that they were the original inventors of machinery and that most if not all modern designs are copied from gremlin ones. While this cannot be proven, gremlin machinery is recognized as the finest in all the Realms. Rumors abound that angry gremlin designers wreak havoc on machines copied from their designs without giving them their due credit, to the point that many assume that when something malfunctions in a machine there's a chance a gremlin was to blame.

Society

Gremlins are curious creatures with nimble fingers, because of this many of them naturally magnate towards the wonders of engineering and mathematics. Gremlin society is obsessed with the invention and creation of new machines and devices, sometimes just to prove their skill and craftsmanship rather than for any particular purpose. Gremlins are some of the most sought after mechanics due to their natural ability to access hard to reach machinery and their seemingly hereditary talent for machinations.
