Mohawk
Mohawk is the leader of the new batch, and is one of the gremlins that invaded the Clamp Center building. Mohawk is a main antagonist of the story, the other being Brain Gremlin. Mohawk is violent, savage and recognizable by the large and razor sharp fish-like spines protruding from its back, otherwise it looks much more sinister than the other gremlins in the film. Mohawk is a bully towards Gizmo, by zapping him with electrical wires, making continuous copies of him with a photocopier, putting velcro strips on Gizmo then ripping them off, and hitting him with a toy train. Mohawk is considered a reincarnation of Joe Dante’s Stripe from the first film, where Mohawk’s actions are possibly out of revenge for having been extinguished by sunlight.
