Chaotic saboteurs that delight in breaking tools, machines, and weapons
Gremlins emerged from modern folklore as tiny creatures blamed for mysterious mechanical failures and sabotage. Pilots during the Second World War whispered about them whenever engines stalled, instruments malfunctioned, or aircraft vanished in the darkness. Described as grinning little monsters hiding within machinery, Gremlins became the unseen explanation for chaos inside the rapidly advancing machines of the modern age. Though often treated humorously, many airmen swore they heard scratching and laughter from within the metal walls of doomed aircraft moments before disaster struck.
