Description Oh Moth... this is Moth. I based him on the Mothman (a far more well known Urban Myth), although he's more based on the general silhouette of the Mothman.
 
Like how you could sort of consider Flatwood to be the Gremlin equivalent of a Burrower, you might consider Moth to be the Gremlin equivalent of a Climber.
But like Flatwood... only kind of.

Climbers have very good hearing, and generally very large ears. Moth also has horns, like Dover does (which Climbers are more likely to have). Another thing is his nose, which is a snout (again, kind of like Dover's).
And Climbers aren't really known for their eyesight, but Moth is almost nearly blind. BUT he CAN climb! Like a sloth does. Well, a sloth/monkey. Because sloths use their back feet as hooks as well as their front- and Moth doesn't have the right feet for that. But he does... hang out. But he does have quite a hard time seeing.

He can see things very very close up, as well as detect light. But other than that... I mean he runs into things constantly.
It doesn't help that since his ears are so large they sometimes drag across the ground, which doesn't help him hear what's going on. Hence the hanging tendency.
He doesn't really move from the nest much other than that.

When he does move it's very slothlike. Not necessarily slow, but in terms of his body structure it requires him to move around somewhat like a sloth does. So, he's just a sloth.
Heh, Moth the Sloth.
So, something like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4q_J…
I love sloths.

Anyways, Moth and Flatwood are two Gremlins that have a nest (along with two others- I'll upload those later) underneath Charlie and Anna's house. The other two Gremlins can pretty much take care of themselves, but leaving would be dangerous for him- so Flatwood goes and gets stuff for him.
Like socks. Although Flatwood just likes socks.
Flatwood likes to steal Charlie's socks.
So eventually Hopkins helps track down the nest, but then they find out the reason Flatwood had been stealing stuff was for Moth, and Charlie lets him keep them. Well, he lets MOTH keep them- and tells Flatwood to stop stealing his socks.

Charlie: "Seriously, if you need something soft just ask- we could get you a blanket or... or a pillow or something! I can't keep telling my parents I keep losing my socks, I need them and it's getting ridiculous!"

Hopkins: "/Did you catch that?/"

Flatwood: "/YESH/"

Charlie: "....So uh... did he-"

Flatwood: "YESH"

Charlie: "..... 'yesh'?"

Hopkins: *shrugs* " 'yesh'."

Moth: "I'll tell him to put them back if I catch him with uh... socks."

Charlie: "O-oh! Um. Yes, erm. Good. Well uhm... see you around I guess."

Hopkins: "/You couldn't tell a sock from a dust bunny/"

Moth: "/He doesn't know that, does he?/"

Flatwood: "/NOSH/"

Hopkins: "/nope./"
