All About Gizmo from Gremlins

What is Gizmo like?

Gizmo is one of the main characters in the "Gremlins" movies. He's the first Mogwai introduced in the first film and is an eternal; an eternal is a Mogwai that doesn't do evil deeds, since Mogwais are demons, most are evil. Even though Gizmo isn't evil like the rest of the gremlins, he is just as smart and skilled as them. Around 1 in 10,000 gremlins would be an eternal and can only become a regular Mogwai if said gremlin eats after midnight, which is very easy to happen since they are effectively immortal. However, Gizmo has never eaten after midnight, and when offered food in the movies has denied it for reasons unknown.

Gizmo in the Plot

In the films, Gizmo is bought by Randall Peltzer, the father of Billy Peltzer, as a christmas gift from a antique store. It is explained that Gremlins cannot be put under light, have contact with water, and cannot be fed after midnight. However, Billy accidently spills water on Gizmo, which causes him to spawn 5 more gremlins, these ones not being eternals. This event causes a chain reaction in which Gremlins injure and even kill some people in the town. This continues until Billy is able to kill the leader of the Gremlins, Spike, by using the sun.
