Gremlin

Gremlin by Stone Gargoyle

Gremlins are a type of pixie with gray reptilian skin. They possess a type of jinx magic that is different from other faerie folk, as theirs causes tools to break when used and machines to malfunction. They stand approximately one foot tall and have black or gray hair. They prefer to live in towns there they can have access to things built by men, and delight in causing wagon wheels to fall off, doorknobs to come loose, and machines to malfunction or fall apart. They thrive on mischief, basically. The larger a town the better, since the more havoc they cause the better they feel.
