Gremlins

Description
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 steal and devour their opponents food in no time. However, should a Gremlin be defeated, it will dissolve, leaving behind some food.

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

Evolution in the series



 * First appearance: Ultima I


 * Last appearance: Ultima VII/2

First seen in Ultima I, the Gremlins vanished until Ultima IV (though they can steal your food in the dungeons of Ultima III, you cannot see or fight them). After Ultima IV, they also appeared in Ultima V, VI, VII and VII/2. During that time, they became more looking like small, evil gnomes.

Gremlins were planned for Ultima IX, but then dropped during development. One can be found in a lost map.
