Gremlins

Gremlins are small, evil and very hungry little pests. They roam the land in bigger gangs, and while not a big physical threat to the adventurer, they have the ability to quickly steal and devour their opponents food. However, should a gremlin be defeated, it will dissolve, leaving behind some food.

Gremlins can be found anywhere, but they are mostly be found in forests or dungeons.

After appearing in Ultima I and Ultima II, the gremlins vanished until Ultima IV (though they can steal your food in the dungeons of Ultima III, you cannot see or fight them). They also appeared in Ultima V, VI, VII and VII/2. During that time, they began to look more like small, evil gnomes.

Trivia



 * Gremlins were planned for Ultima IX, but dropped during development. One can be found in a lost map. Their appearance (see screenshot) is very similar to the creatures of same name seen in the 1984 movie, "Gremlins."


 * Gremlins were also to be included in the cancelled Ultima X. See Ultima X Gremlin
