Character Cage Match: Gremlins vs. Critters

Gremlins…

• Reach: Gremlins clearly have the upper hand here, sporting disproportionately long agile arms with razor-sharp claws.

• Strengths: Gremlins have a bit of a height advantage over Critters. They tend to travel in “packs” and have a fiendish sense of humor. The Gremlins’ biggest advantage is the ability to multiply in water, so don’t even think about facing one of these guys mano-a-mano near any water, because you’ll end up an army of one against literally, an army of Gremlins.

• Weaknesses: If you aren’t gaining any ground against the Gremlins with baseball bats and shotguns, and your sneaky enough, lure them into daylight and watch them squirm as they melt into a pile of primordial Gremlin goo.

• Reach: Critters are clearly at a disadvantage on this front. While they do have claws, they are hindered by stubby little arms.

• Strengths: Critters certainly are the underdogs in size. They also tend to travel in “packs” and have a razor-sharp smile. The Critters’ biggest advantage is two-fold. They are highly mobile, able to roly-poly into balls and roll along at high speeds. They also have a projectile advantage, shooting deadly spines from their backs.

• Weaknesses: No special tricks here. If you can’t bring them down yourself, you might as well add yourself to the menu. The only way to dispose of these furry little freaks is to squash, slice, shoot or burn them into oblivion
