{{statrec|The gremlins wave at you and beckon you in, grinning with slavering fangs. They seem awfully eager to have you come fight them -- that can't be a good sign.}}

==Combat Adventures==
{{Combat|name=A.M.C. gremlin}}
{{Combat|name=erudite gremlin (quest)|note1=There are two separate monsters called erudite gremlin. This one is the only gremlin that drops a tool in this zone.}}
{{Combat|name=erudite gremlin|note1=This erudite gremlin does not drop the molybdenum crescent wrench.}}
{{Combat|name=spider gremlin}}

==Notes==
*Most gremlins have two separate versions. Banishing a gremlin that doesn't hold the quest item will not banish the one that does. A.M.C. gremlins are the only ones that only have one version, since they have no quest items. See the [[Retrieve Yossarian's Tools]] quest page for attack messages.

==History==
*Before [[History of Loathing (2008)#July 08, 2008|July 08, 2008]] was a subzone of [[The Junkyard (Retired)]].
**Accessed via a subsnarfblat value of 1-4.
**Was randomly assigned a tool, each tool is guarded by a specific set of Gremlins.

*On [[History of Loathing (2008)#July 08, 2008|July 08, 2008]], the subzones were reconfigured into 4 separate zones.
**182. [[Next to that Barrel with Something Burning in it]]
**183. [[Near an Abandoned Refrigerator]]
**184. '''Over Where the Old Tires Are'''
**185. [[Out By that Rusted-Out Car]]
*Contained all 9 gremlins, and was intended to function like [[The Junkyard (Retired)]] with the gremlins appearing in the zone randomised each ascension.
*Due to a bug the new zones never altered which location the groups of Gremlins appeared in.

*In May 2025, [[Leading Yourself Right to Them]] and [[Peering Through Your Peridot]] both evaluated the monster conditionals as originally intended so they showed a different set of gremlins than you would encounter while adventuring. After an aborted attempt to restore the randomisation, both were eventually altered to show the static Gremlin locations.
