"A fictional furry creature in the Gremlins films."

Doesn't seem to meet the fictional-universe rule of WT:CFI as it apparently hasn't attained independent use like (deprecated template usage) lightsaber. Astral (talk) 04:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, I think the furry creature in Gremlins is merely a specific example of the legendary Chinese creature. We wouldn't have a separate sense under Bigfoot for a specific fictional Bigfoot that appeared in a specific film. bd2412 T 20:21, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

I think the definition should be "a species of furry creatures", the rule is "never feed a mogwai after dark" IIRC. One citation could be from Enimem's "here we go": "I don’t gas my Mercedes after midnight, I treat it like a Mogwai Cuz it will turn into a Gremlin, and run over kids, women and men" Siuenti (talk) 17:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
