One note- While Gremlins are aesthetically similar to Goblins, they have completely different roots and interests in mythology. Goblins are usually cave dwellers and hermits while Gremlins have interests with technology (notably tearing it apart or modifying it) and go out of their way to cause wanton destruction.
