“Gremlins do not exist.” – a well known fact.

Of these creatures, little can be said. If Gremlins did exist, they could be described as highly stealthy creatures that live to cause mischief and disrupt the plans of others. But that is of course a mere superstition.

It is sometimes claimed that Gremlins have been captured or found dead. In all such cases, it seems pretty clear that the creature in question was but a tiny Goblin of unusual ability.

It should also be said that among these fictional creatures that do not actually exist, it is considered very bad form to be seen, heard, or otherwise known to exist. All Gremlins are expected to ensure that they do not exist as far as others are concerned, and to go to great lengths in doing so.
