In the magical and often terrifying universe of the Gremlins, the boundaries between the possible and the fantastic are blurred with each new chapter.

A twist in history: Nuwa and the restoration

In a remarkable episode titled “Always Invite a God to Drink First,” Gremlins fans are taken on a journey through time to the ancient ghost town of Fengdong. There, Gizmo and his companions find Nuwa, who, disillusioned and drunk, reveals his role in the creation of the Mogwai and the conditions his brother, Fuxi, imposed to test the nature of humanity.
