Beanie, or the Beanie Gremlin, was a gremlin that spawned at Clamp Center in 1990. He also spawned back in 1984, as the same type of gremlin was seen in the Kingston Falls Movie Theater.
History[]
Gremlins 2: The New Batch[]
During the Brain Gremlin's TV interview with Grandpa Fred, Brain talked at length about the Gremlins' desire to be civilized, and how his species tended to be primitive. However, during this interview, Brain had been becoming very annoyed by a nearby Gremlin who had been chattering excitedly after finding a beanie hat. Irritated by it's simpleminded "Beanie, beanie, beanie!" chatter, Brain said, "We want to be civilized. I mean, take a look at this fellow here," as he pulled out a revolver and he shot the Beanie Gremlin, killing him instantly to the delight of other gremlins watching the interview. "Now was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized."

- The way the Brain Gremlin killed the Beanie Gremlin is similar to Stripe killing the Poker-Cheating Gremlin with a pistol.
