The gremlin is a small goblin-like creature introduced in the Scourge of Armagon expansion pack. It somewhat resembles a Fiend in appearance, and has a fairly advanced AI, compared to the stock Quake monsters. It can steal certain weapons from the player and use them against him. Also able to feed on the corpses of dead monsters which allows them to bolster their numbers. Has a claw rake melee attack.
