The Gremlin is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Gremlins are diminutive members of the Demon family with pink or purple skin, a lizard's tail, a small pair of wings on their backs, and a tiny pair of blue horns on their heads. 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.

After the Gremlins' debut in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, their only mainline appearance has been in Dragon Quest X ; most of their appearances have been in spin-offs such as the Dragon Quest Monsters series.

-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.
