MOGWAI IN THE ''GREMLINS'' SERIES

As depicted in the 1984 '', the word mogwai is used by some Chinese to describe a rare sentient animal. It is a furry, cute creature that if exposed to the right stimuli will transform into, and/or create (given the circumstance) Gremlins . If exposed to water, it immediately reproduces more of its kind Asexually ; if it eats food after Midnight , it becomes a ''gremlin'' (a more reptilian and evil creature). Sunlight will kill a mogwai and other lights will annoy it. Most of the mogwai creatures are mean-spirited and mischievous, with Gizmo, the most famous mogwai, being the exception.


OTHER APPEARANCES

In the online Role-playing Game AdventureQuest , there are small, peaceful, home-loving creatures called Moglins (which are obviously "cousins" of the Mogwai) which turn into Moglinsters (tall, ugly, evil moglins) when exposed to darkness (they sleep with the lights on), vampire-werewolf curing solution, or trick-or-treaters with no masks.
