The Gremlin is an enemy from Final Fantasy VII fought in the Whirlwind Maze and in the sixth round of the Battle Square after the player acquires the Highwind and Cloud Strife rejoins the party. When fought on the Battle Square its stats are enhanced with double the normal HP and its Attack and Magic Attack are increased by 25%.

BattleEdit

Gremlin gets angry as it is attacked, but mostly just uses its physical attack, and at rare times, will use an attack called Bad Mouth, which will afflict a character with Sadness. With its low HP, it is not dangerous. A simple way of defeating them is to cast L4 Suicide, then use a physical attack.

For the English PS1 classics re-release on the PlayStation Network, the attack Bad Mouth was removed, most likely due to the characters during the attack being extremely foul language. A mistake during the editing of the code makes the Gremlin not attack at all in many cases.
