Note that a trained gremlin will not pull levers mischievously anymore. As explained by [[main:Toady One|Toady One]], the reason they are tamable is roughly that they are supposed to be only pretending to listen to your dwarves so they can mess with your levers and then run away, though trained gremlins currently do not perform this function at all and simply act as regular (albeit buggy) pets.<sup>[https://youtu.be/nAB93hOcsPI?t=4300 Source]</sup>

In the current version, a stray gremlin will claim a [[bed]] in the [[Tavern|inn]] and become a long-term resident, eventually petitioning for citizenship. This can be mortally annoying, because they will then perform labors and ignore requests to be trained, resulting in trainers dying of starvation and thirst if you aren't careful. A solution to this is to make them exclusively soldiers, or assign them to a small burrow with a workshop exclusive to them, and make the area a training ground, which you can also order them to station in. Being trained isn't a job for the gremlin and it just has to be there; the trainer will eventually finish the job if the gremlin is in the same area. This no longer occurs with their tame offspring. This method can also work for other trained intelligent creatures if you've modded them to be pets.

Gremlins will not eat normally due to having the {{token|BONECARN}} tag, and their minuscule size makes them terrible at handling alcohol. They are also notably long-lived, with some living up to 1000 years.
