Gremlin
Who is a Gremlin?
A gremlin is a mythical creature that causes mischief and trouble in machines, especially aircraft.
The term was first used by British pilots in the 1920s to explain the malfunctions and accidents that happened during their flights.
Gremlins are often depicted as small, furry, and mischievous, with big ears, sharp teeth, and claws.
They can have different colors, such as green, brown, or red.
Gremlins are not loyal to any side in a conflict, but act out of their own self-interest.
They are also very curious and like to explore and tamper with anything they find.
Gremlins became popular during World War II, when stories about them spread among airmen of different countries.
Some famous works that feature gremlins are Roald Dahl's book The Gremlins, Walt Disney's animated short film The Gremlins, and Joe Dante's comedy horror film Gremlins and its sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Gremlins are also used as a metaphor for any unexpected or unexplained problem in technology or other fields.
Gremlins are one of the many examples of how humans use folklore and imagination to cope with the challenges and uncertainties of life.
They are also a source of entertainment and humor for many people who enjoy their antics and adventures.
Gremlins are part of the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the world.
