Iron Heel Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 What is the relationship between Gremlins & Neverborn? Neverborn are touted as the original inhabitants repelling the pesky humans...but aren't Gremlins OG as well? Long ago when I read the fluff, I forming an idea that perhaps Gremlins were the devolved descendants of the first batch of humans that came though the breach and got stuck M-side.

rgarbonzo Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 The creatures that stalk the ruined city of Malifaux are terrible monsters that brutally prey on the newly arrived residents of this land. The Neverborn take many shapes, from the giant winged Nephilim to the small murderous Gremlins.The origin of these creatures is uncertain. Many believe that they are created by some maligned force, and thus, they were dubbed Neverborn to help mankind explain away their complete lack of human empathy and mercy. - http://wyrd-games.net/community/page/malifaux_2e_neverborn.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native vermin species, like the Hoarcat and Malifaux Rat. It's OK to shoot 'em. The Gremlins I mean. Incidentally Rgarbonzo, where'd that art come from of all the new Grem models?

rgarbonzo Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Wyrd Chronicles - http://wyrd-games.net/community/files/file/76-wyrd-chronicles-volume-11/ Well almost everything except Ulix, Wyrd snuck him in there. The rest was from art on the Wave 1 PDFs or other released art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Unclean Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I would love an official word on this one way or the other. There is the old neverborn description that namedrops gremlins, but then some newer descriptions specifically describe neverborn as "black blooded" which gremlins clearly aren't.

Scirian Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 To be honest, the fluff has hemmed and hawed at the idea of lineage for...two books now? Ever since the third book where McMourning opens his lab to Nicodem; he describes: A creature that shares attributes with both Neverborn and humans. This indicates a possible common ancestor, which would require some serious explanation. I wouldn't be surprised if the gremlins stemmed from something similar.
