Since gremlins love to wreck stuff just for fun I was thinking it would make sense for there to be a gremlin that spreads computer viruses (and perhaps IS a living computer virus of sorts, which I assume would make it incorporeal) Anyone have some more ideas?
There's the software imp thing, in I believe the armory. A hacking tool that often becomes self aware and screws with computers.
Add in an appropriate CR scaled living hologram so it can sneak out of your ship's computers to do more physical sabotage could be an interesting series of encounters during travel.
Actually, this could become a very fun, or very terrible encounter.
The software imp tries to eat any artificial personality upgrade installed to the ship computer. From there is starts randomly opening the wrong hatch, causing power surges, turning off lights, giving penalties to starship combat instead of bonuses.
Then you have to give the PC's engineering or computers checks to figure out what the hell is happening. All while their AI is trying to kill them.
But, when they're asleep it uses it's living hologram form (from dead suns) to physically cut wires and override safeties so it's opening the wrong hatch can expose the entire ship to vacuum. This could mislead the PCs to thinking they have a stowaway.
Could be fun, could be frustrating.
this is literally a creature in Alien Archive 2
Good, now I don't have to build one myself.

Wish I knew yet (someone who's got the archive would; that's not me), but it looks like there's one on the cover.
It's called a "glitch gremlin."
