Gremlins are members of the [[Demon family]] and are a classic {{Main Series}} enemy. They have diminutive childlike bodies with pink or purple skin, a lizard's tail, a small pair of wings on its back, and a tiny pair of blue horns on its head. They are mischievous creatures, their tongues constantly seen sticking out of their mouths, floating about in battle at all times and being capable of casting a variety of different spells and breathing out flames at their opponents. After their initial appearance, Gremlins were relegated mostly to spinoff games in the series until they returned in {{X}}, like many classic monsters.

They are mischievous creatures who always float with their tongues constantly sticking out of their mouths, capable of casting several different spells and breathing fire at their opponents.
