In General
- Adaptational Backstory Change: Rather than alien creatures created to serve as peacemakers, Mogwai are daimon that guard the Lazarus Pits.
- Adaptational Superpower Change: Instead of multiplying just by being sprayed with water, a Mogwai or Gremlin only multiplies when sprayed with water from the Lazarus pits. They also only turn into Gremlins after overeating things like junk food.
- Always Chaotic Evil: Gremlins are for the most part malevolent pranksters with very few exceptions.
- Ambiguous Gender: While it's not obvious at first glance, Mogwai do have genders and can reproduce in the conventional way.
- Big Eater: Mogwai are omnivorous, and they have quite the Sweet Tooth.
- Cute Is Evil: Most Mogwai are small and look harmless, but once they're turned into gremlins, all that changes.
- Endangered Species: Natural born Mogwai are so scarce Gizmo is believed to be the only one left.
- Fantastic Caste System: Mogwai colonies are divided in classes. Alpha, Hunter, Queen and Worker.
- Griping About Gremlins: While these gremlins don't target planes like their mythical counterparts, they still are good at messing up circuits and mechanical artifacts.
- Light Is Not Good: As Mogwai, they are simply adorable little critters with an utterly unfriendly demeanor.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Only a few male gremlins have hair, while all known females do have. Females also have bust lines and are slightly more slender than males.
- Weakened by the Light: While they don't melt or burn under sunlight, both Mogwai and Gremlins are vulnerable to bright lights thanks to their nocturnal adaptations.

- Badass Adorable: Gizmo might be tiny and incredibly cute, but he's still pretty intelligent and an impressive archer.

- Omniglot: While he can't speak them very well, Gizmo understands all languages.
- One-Steve Limit: Shares name with Gizmo from the Fearsome Five, and they're both small tinkerers.

- Taught by Television: He has taken a liking for watching movies on the internet.
