Strange little creatures, found wherever there are typos and promptly kicked away, an action that usually sends them scurrying. They have populated the Island as long as anyone can remember, taking away letters that ought to be there, inserting letters that oughtn't, and otherwise making a pesky nuisance of themselves.

Concerned individuals1) have been researching2) this behavior using proven means3) and have proposed the theory 4) that typo gremlins do not cause typos deliberately; rather, typos are a side effect of their reality-warping abilities.

The implications of this have yet to be discovered.
