A small, furry creature seen in the film Gremlins. The Mogwai must stay away from bright light, water, and can not be fed after midnight. Sunlight, or other bright light will kill a Mogwai, water causes them to multiply, and feeding after midnight causes them to transform into gremlins. The most famous of all would be Gizmo. Mogwai in Cantonese translates literally as "Evil Spirit".
