Out of the Ordinary

Christmas gremlins tend towards the chaotic side of things often taking enjoyment out of ruining the winter months for children. The diet of christmas gremlins is primarily comprised of meats and other proteins with the exception of candy. For christmas gremlins every type of candy represents a different type of abusive substance. You'll often find a christmas gremlin downing a bottle of maple syrup or snorting a line of icing sugar to get a buzz.

Small and Mischevious

Standing about 2 - 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries in the shadow of empires and on the edges of wars and political strife. They weigh between 25 and 35 pounds.

Christmas Gremlin's skin ranges a vast plethora of colors, sometimes even patterning like a chameleon. Christmas Gremlin's hair is usually wispy and white growing in odd malformed patches. They have full black or icy blue eyes. They like to wear clothes that allow them to blend into their situations as to cause the most mayhem without being noticed. 

Exploring Opportunities for Nuisance

Christmas Gremlins often set out on adventures only if there is the opportunity for personal gain or the possibility of creating general nuisance and chaos. Though some Christmas Gremlins will simply get bored and set out just as something to do hoping to find something interesting in the way of troublemaking along the way.
