Fremlin (''Dungeons & Dragons'')
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game, the fremlin is a type of fictional monster.
Publication history
Fremlins first appeared in the first edition AD&D module The Lost Island of Castanamir in 1984. In second edition AD&D, fremlins first appear in the Greyhawk Monstrous Compendium (1990) under the "gremlin" entry,[1] which was reprinted in the Monstrous Manual (1993), again under the "gremlin" entry.[2] The fremlin was detailed as a player character race in The Complete Book of Humanoids (1993).[3]
Description
Fremlins are a friendly, mostly harmless subspecies of gremlins featured in the Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition supplement, The Complete Book of Humanoids. Like other gremlins within the game, they are small, winged goblinoids, only growing to about a foot in height. However, fremlins tend to be plump and slate colored. They have large, pointed ears, bat-like wings that give them the power of flight, and an innate immunity to non-magical weapons. Fremlins shun clothing and ornamentation and refuse to use weapons.
