Kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m’ma 20, oyendetsa ndege a ku Britain amene ankakhala kumadera akutali anayamba kugwiritsa ntchito mawu akuti “Gremlins” pofotokoza za zolengedwa zoipa zimene zinkayambitsa mavuto aukadaulo, makamaka m’ndege.
Zolengedwa zonga gnomelis zimenezi, ndi chilakolako chawo chosakhutitsidwa choyambitsa chipwirikiti chaukadaulo, amakhulupirira kuti zimapeza chisangalalo chachikulu pakuwononga makina amitundu yonse, makamaka ndege. Ngakhale ambiri sangakhulupirire za kukhalapo kwawo, amatenga gawo lofunikira m'nthano, kukhala ngati njira yopulumutsira zovuta zaukadaulo ndikupatuka pazovuta zamunthu.
Ngakhale kuti amadziwika kuti ndi oyambitsa mavuto, a Gremlins ndi aang'ono kwambiri pa zolengedwa zonse za monster pantheon, zobadwira ku United States ndipo zimakhala pafupi ndi zida ndi mkati mwa makina ndi zida. Amakonda kwambiri ndege, koma amadziwika kuti amasokoneza makina amitundu yonse.
Dzina lakuti "Gremlin" limachokera ku liwu lachingerezi lachingerezi "gremian," kutanthauza "kupweteka," ndipo linagwiritsidwa ntchito koyamba ndi Gulu la Bomber Command lomwe likugwira ntchito ku North West Frontier ku India mu 1939, pamene sanathe kuzindikira. chifukwa cha zovuta zingapo za ndege ndipo adaganiza zoyimba mlandu pa nthano yoyipa yodziwa bwino za kuwonongeka kwa mlengalenga.
Kufotokozera koyambirira kwa Gremlins kunawawonetsa ngati anthu ang'onoang'ono okhala ndi makutu ngati elf ndi maso achikasu, ovala maovololo ang'onoang'ono komanso zida zonyamulira mafelemu awo ocheperako. Komabe, chithunzi chodziwika kwambiri cha Gremlins masiku ano ndi cha zolengedwa zazifupi, zokhala ngati chilombo zokhala ndi makutu okulirapo, monga zikuwonetsedwa mu kanema "Gremlins".
Zilombo zachilendozi 'zinkaopseza' anthu mwa kugwiritsa ntchito zida zogometsa, kukankhira nyundo pa zala zazikulu, kusewera ndi madzi otentha ndi ozizira m'mvula, kugwiritsira ntchito makina ogubuduza ndi kuyatsa toast.
Panthawi ya nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse, oyendetsa ndege a Royal Air Force (RAF) ankaimba mlandu Gremlins chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa ndege, koma zolengedwazo zinapandukira anthu pamene amakanika ndi asayansi anayamba kuyamikira ntchito yawo.
Iwo ndi amene anachititsa kuti mawotchi alephereke m’ndege panthaŵi zina pamene zinali zovuta kwambiri, ndipo anachita zimenezo popanda kukhala kumbali ya mkanganowo, kusonyeza kusalabadira mapangano a anthu. M'malo mwake, a Gremlin aluso nthawi zambiri amatha kuthyola injini yonse asanazindikire kuti nkhaniyi ikadatha kuthetsedwa ndi kumangika kosavuta kwa screw imodzi.
Ngakhale Gremlins angakhale cholengedwa chanthano, nthano yawo yapirira, ndipo akupitiriza kulimbikitsa malingaliro lero. M'malo mwake, filimuyo "Gremlins" idakulitsa chithunzi cha zolengedwa zazifupi, zonga chilombo zomwe zili ndi makutu akulu kwambiri. Kaya ndi enieni kapena ayi, Gremlins amakhala chikumbutso kuti nthawi zina zovuta zaukadaulo sizikhala m'manja mwathu, ndikuti tiyenera kupeza njira yowagonjetsera.
