In a zombie survival situation which creature would you rather have help you?
1) Critters, you get 6 critter's to start with and they can eat the zombie's( Do they do that eat people? I don't remember.) without turning but if they are bitten they do turn they are under your complete control.
or
2) Gremlins, you get 3 regular gremlins, 1 spider gremlin, 1 electricity gremlin, and the bat gremlin they are also under your complete control.
Which would you rather have as your companion/slaves and which do you think would help you survive the easiest/longest?
So rain would kill the electric Gremlin? Eventually he'll hit water. You can't just hang out in a city or town forever you would have to hit the road. How would he follow you? You could try to keep along the power lines. But that's dangerous.
The Bat Gremlin could gather food for you and warn you of danger. I see yokels/survivor types shooting him down from the sky eventually.
Spider Gremlin was a mess. Creepy mofo. I see zombies swarming it and feating upon it eventually. Or someone just blowing the crap out of it.
Then you're left with 3 Gremlins. And they weren't that great. You could throw some in a pool and make a tonne of em. But damn they would be irritating.
Now 6 Crites. Pure WIN. The projectiles on their backs rendered people unconscious. Great for dealing with pesky psychos. But obviously the spikes wont work on Zombies for they're dead.
And Crites can breed. They need to eat before they lay eggs. It's never shown how they breed but you never see female Critters they appear to be a mono-sexed species. Apparently quoted on film it took 6 months for eggs to hatch but on screen some took a few hours.
If any of my Critters got bit by a zombie then I would order the others to devour it. And zombie Critters can't breed. Give me a few weeks and my Critters would annihilate those Gremlins and any body else who got in my way.
The ability to control these creatures would make me the undisputed king of the this threads planet. If the Critters got too numerous I would just tell em to eat each other and the eggs to keep the numbers down.
I would find suitable survivors and build a new civilisation. The Crites would destroy any who oppose me.

Gremlins are easier to reproduce than Critters tho. Pour some water on them (except the electric one of course) and you have an army in minutes.
Weirdos might shoot one Batlin down but whats anyone gonna do about 100? 1,000? Plus just as many Spiderlins? Zombies would pose zero threat against my minons! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I guess the Electriclin is the weak link here but hey i don't think id need it all that much
One Critter would kill many Gremlins. A thousand Critters would annihilate 10000 Gremlins. Gremlins need to eat you know. How do you plan to feed them?
And Critters would be a thousand times easy to deal with psychologically and economically. Gremlins are a pain in the ass. Critters just sit around and giggle. Plus Crites shoot projectiles that render living creatures unconscious.
Your argument of water making tonnes of Gremlins is mute. For I can order my Crites to eat each other. Making more eggs.
And on a war scale. Gremlins have trouble taking over towns and buildings. Crites have decimated planets.
this isnt Critters vs Gremlins so the theory that Critter would kill Gremlins while an interesting debate topic (i agree with you here by the way) means nothing here as they are to be used against zombies right? And Gremlins eat just about anything. The Spiderlin tried to eat a person so im sure we can figure something out
Yes Gremlins are a serious pain but im under the impression that they are under my complete control. If that is not the case i would probably end up killing them. Or myself.
My Batlins can fly about the land searching for food and places to go/hide and any number of things we might need/want which your Critters would have much more trouble locating.
Your Critters eating eachother is just weird but still it is much less effective than my water idea since as you stated earlier than it takes atleast several hours for the eggs to hatch but a Gremlin in a pool breeds an army in moments.
It would not be my intention to take over this zombie infested and most likely dead planet. My army would serve simply to protect me (and anyone else who may still be alive) help find food and survivors and kill any zombies we come across.
Quick question. Its been awhile since ive seen a Critters movie but didn't it take them awhile to actually eat a person? And since the person was alive and felt pain they ran around screaming and/or buckled over in pain.
I just think they wouldn't be as effective to a non-pain feeling zombie since they wouldn't be stopped by the first few bites like a normal person would. And since the spike won't work on them you'd have zombies still coming after you while Critters are inside them eating away.
Or the zombies eat the Critters just as they would eat the zombies.
It really wouldn't matter if you moved only at night cause you could have an army of them in a matter of days. and the electricity gremlin could light any houses you happen to move through.
very true. the only problem i foresee (which still can be dealt with) is if we're attacked during the day and maybe the zombies break thru walls/roofs and a ton of light gets in.
i mean we could always find a super durable place to spend days in like a prison but it could still be a factor
And as for the critters beating the gremlins, im pretty sure the electricity gremlin was making shit explode just by touching it so i think the gremlins would win a fight.
