{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|R=9|B=2|M=2}} {{stats|Gremlin creation|R=3|M=1|state=collapsed}} as of ''[[March of the Machine]]'' }} {{TOCright}} '''Gremlin''' is a [[black]] and [[red]] [[creature type]] that have [[wikipedia:Gremlin|an inclination to damage or dismantle machinery]].<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/150184725313/thanks-for-answering-my-last-question-maro-this|title=A few points|September 09, 2016}}</ref> The first gremlin, <c>Phyrexian Gremlins</c>, was the only representative of their race for 18 years, followed by the similarly-Phyrexian <c>Flensermite</c>, both in black. The type was ported over to red with [[Kaladesh block]] as a less-sapient Goblin substitute. ==Storyline== ===Ikorian Gremlins=== Ikorian gremlins are also red-aligned. They are muscled monsters with large protruding filaments along their spine. These gremlins are able to spit fire (<c>Blisterspit Gremlin</c>). ===Kaladeshi Gremlins=== Unlike the Black-aligned Phyrexian gremlins, [[Kaladesh (plane)|Kaladeshi]] gremlins are primarily Red-aligned. They are non-sapient, six-limbed, vaguely [[anteater]]- or aardvark-like creatures that feed on [[aether]], dismantling artifacts to get it.<ref>[http://magic.wizards.com/en/story/planes/kaladesh "Planes of Existence: Kaladesh"] {{Em}} [[Wizards of the Coast]]</ref> Their saliva is corrosive, allowing them to breach through metal hulls to reach their food. When they feed they glow in a faint blue color. As a side effect of their extremely messy feeding, much of the aether is liberated back into the environment. Thus gremlins embody the "liberate" step of the [[Kaladesh block|Aether Cycle]]. Their crucial role is often unappreciated by the former owners of their meals.<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/planeswalkers-guide-kaladesh-2016-11-02|Planeswalker's Guide to Kaladesh|[[Magic Creative Team]]|November 2, 2016}}</ref> Gremlins breed during the warm season.<ref name="Consulate">[https://www.facebook.com/KaladeshConsulate Kaladesh Consulate - Facebook]</ref> Their young are called grubs. Gremlins are deterred by [[Monkey|bandar]] urine.<ref name="Consulate"/> ===Phyrexian Gremlins=== Two types of gremlins have been seen, with one type from each incarnation of Phyrexia: the <c>Phyrexian Gremlins</c> from the original plane and the <c>Flensermite</c> from [[Mirrodin (plane)|Mirrodin]].<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/mistform-ultimus-watch-new-phyrexia-2011-05-11|Mistform Ultimus Watch: New Phyrexia|[[Monty Ashley]]|May 11, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/linguistic-look-besieged-2011-02-01|A Linguistic Look at ''Besieged''|[[Doug Beyer]]|February 02, 2011}}</ref> The original Phyrexian gremlins were the same type of being as [[ouphe]]s, and were amidst the original inhabitants of their plane before [[Yawgmoth]] arrived, later being repurposed into menial labour units and artifact reprocessors. ==Notable Gremlins== ;Kaladesh *[[Gimbal]] ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Gremlins.png|[[Kaladesh (plane)|Kaladeshi]] Gremlin life cycle. </gallery> ==Tokens== {{Gremlin tokens|header=y}} ;[[Heroes of the Realm]] {{HTR tokens|type=Gremlin|header=y}} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}} [[Category:Gremlins]]
