XRP12 Gremlin

Gremlin CSV

The Gremlin Combat Support Vehicle is a combat support vehicle used by the UNSC Marine Corps during 2531, during the early years of the Human-Covenant War. It has been seen engaging enemies with its roof-mounted EMP gun. It is a Special Purpose Vehicle, whose special ability is to temporarily disable non-infantry units. The Gremlin is resonably effective against flood units and buildings. It is Anders' unique unit and as such it is produced inside the Firebase's Command Center. It can be upgraded with Focusing Lens, to increase its weapon's range and effectiveness or with the Chain Amplifier, an upgrade which allows the EMP gun to hit multiple targets.

Trivia

 * It is vaguely similar in appearance to the cut "Cougar" unit, and was likely inspired by it.
 * The "Gremlin" moniker is a reference to the folkloric creature of the same name, which aviators sometimes jokingly claim cause mechanical problems in aircraft. An appropriate name, considering the Gremlin's EMP capabilities.
 * It possibly inspired Sarge's EMP Warthog from Red vs. Blue Relocated, although the warthogs first mention (Episode 1), was released far before Halo Wars.
