Gremlin (character)

The Gremlin is a creature that tried to destroy the school bus. He attempted to do so by gouging the side and removing the bolts from the tires, so that they would fall off. However, Bart noticed him and tried to inform the rest of the bus. But, the Gremlin hid, and everyone else assumed Bart was crazy. Bart decided to take matters into his own hands by throwing a flare at the Gremlin. This knocked the Gremelin off the bus, where he was found by Ned Flanders. Flanders remarked "it's some kind of hideous monster... How cute, he's trying to gouge out my eyes. Bart is assumed to be crazy and is taken away by an ambulance. Bart assumes everything will be okay, but the monster shows up at the window holding Flanders' severed head.
