{{battle|text=What has eight hairy legs, giant venomous mandibles, fangs, claws, and slimy green skin?

Umm... that wasn't a riddle. I just wanted to know if you knew what's sneaking up behind you right now.

Though I guess the answer would be "a creature genetically engineered by scientists who decided combining the DNA of two malicious predators would be a really, really good idea."
|hit=It tries to mate with you, then tries to decapitate you. You can't decide which is worse. And why is it holding pliers? {{ouch|4}} {{element|sleaze}}

It spears you with all sixteen claws at the end of its seven legs. The eight{{sic|should be eighth}} is holding some pliers. Gah! {{ouch|4}}

It spins a web around you to hold you still, then tramples you with its eight legs while chewing on your {{part}} with its mandibles. It promised not to kill you, but it didn't promise it wouldn't maim you. {{ouch|4}}

It shoots webbing all over your face while brandishing some pliers. You choke and black out. {{ouch|4}}

It whips out a pair of pliers and fastens them firmly on your {{part}}. If only it'd tried to ply you with booze instead. {{ouch|4}}

|miss=

He tries to you{{sic}} in the {{part}}, but misses.

|critical=It spins a web around you to hold you still, then tramples you with its eight legs while chewing on your {{part}} with its mandibles. It promised not to kill you, but it didn't promise it wouldn't maim you. {{critical}} {{ouch|5}}

''Using [[molybdenum magnet]]''

You hold out the molybdenum magnet and the pliers is wrenched out of the gremlin's hand. It looks at you glumly, then slinks back off into the junkyard.

==Notes==
*Never misses, unless forced to miss by something like [[The Crown of Ed the Undying]].
*There are two different versions of this monster: one with the molybdenum tool (for [[Retrieve Yossarian's Tools|Yossarian's quest]]) and one [[Spider gremlin|without]].

==References==
*The first attack message is a play on the lyrics to 'Yer So Bad' by Tom Petty.
*As with [[erudite gremlin]], [[vegetable gremlin]], and [[batwinged gremlin]], the character is based on one of the mutated gremlins in the 1990 film ''Gremlins 2: The New Batch''.
*The combat message "It promised not to kill you" is a reference to the [[wikipedia:They Might Be Giants|They Might Be Giants]] song, "''[[TMBW:Spider|Spider]]''".
