Stripe is the main antagonist of the 1984 movie Gremlins.
History[]
Stripe, alongside the other members of the first batch, was born when Pete accidentally spilled water on Gizmo. As Pete took interest in his little tuft of fur, Stripe almost bit the boy's finger. A few minutes later, Billy showed his dad the new Mogwai. Soon Stripe hawks a loogie at Gizmo.
Later that night, Stripe smiles as Billy sees that Barney was hanged by Christmas lights. The night after that, Stripe and his fellow Mogwai beg Billy to feed them. Soon he whispers to them as Billy gets food. After bringing up a plate of chicken, they begin to feast and Gizmo soon gets uneasy.
The next morning, the Mogwai have turned into cocoons and later that day, they emerge and torture Gizmo. Later after saving his mother, Billy recognizes the now mohawked monster as Stripe, before he blows his nose with the curtain. Soon Billy and Gizmo decide to follow him.
After a bit of following the Gremlin, they soon encounter him and he wounds Billy before he jumps into a swimming pool. Soon he and his newly formed Gremlins begin to cause havoc throughout the town, including causing the death of Ruby Deagle. Later on, the Gremlins make a mess at the tavern. Stripe is informed of a Gremlin cheating and shoots it.
Later on, the Gremlins are at the theatre watching Snow White. Stripe leaves to get some more snacks but finds the snack bar empty. Soon he sees the store across the street has more snacks. However, Billy manages to kill Stripe's army by blowing the theatre up. However, he sees Stripe escaped.
Death[]
Later on, Billy, Kate and Gizmo enter and pursue the Gremlin leader. Soon Billy finds Stripe and begins fighting him. After gaining the upper hand, Stripe gets distracted by Gizmo. Later on, Stripe sees a fountain and decides to regrow an army. Soon Gizmo arrives on the scene and Stripe shoots at the Mogwai. However, Gizmo sees the blinds and opens it, causing sunlight to enter and shine on Stripe. As soon as it happens, the Gremlin begins to melt until a puddle of slime is all that remains.
