 Gremlin 

Species: Demihuman

Habitat: Towns, Villages

Disposition: Friendly, Curious

Diet: Omnivorous

An unusual species of mamono, Gremlins are a relatively new addition to the mamono race as a whole. A popular theory of their origins is that the first Gremlin was born from an Echidna at around the same time when humans started to create a new town nicknamed as the “Machine Town”.

Gremlins are about the same size as a Goblin and possess large pointed ears. They also possess a love for technology and would often tinker with them. Capable of building impressively complex machines and other technological devices, Gremlins get along famously with Dwarves who would often supply them the metal parts that they would require for their projects. However, it must be warned that Gremlins are hopelessly attracted explosions so they will inevitably build weapons-grade explosives just for the “heck of it”. While most mamono frown upon the idea of them building such dangerous things, Gremlins at least have the common sense to place safeguards to bring down the risks of fatalities to a minimum, even when the said explosives do explode at point-blank range. They are also infamously driven by a desire to know everything that makes up a machine which is not of their own creation, which equals to them wanting to take the machine apart down to the last bolt unless given satisfyingly accurate blueprints. There is also a worryingly increasing number of Gremlins who want to build transport vehicles that can travel at very, very fast speeds.

As Gremlins love building machinery, they generally care more about a man’s ability to help them out rather than his skills in combat or magic. It is therefore common for a Gremlin to favour marrying an average man who is a valued assistant or advisor for her projects even if presented with a mighty hero or a handsome prince as prospective husbands. Although their choices in men may baffle some mamono, few are bothered to argue with them.

While Gremlins can get along amicably with just about anyone, it must be warned that they do get horny when they get grimy and dirty from their work. They also get horny when they see explosions and after experiencing ludicrously fast travel. If sufficiently horny, they will attack and ravish men whom they like or at least fancy. Thankfully enough, married Gremlins are willing to settle down and take part in less risky projects such as building various kinds of toys, including “adult toys”, for everyone to play with.
