Jermlaine first appeared - we won't say, featured - in the adventure ''[[Drow_Trilogy|Descent into the Depths of the Earth]]'', for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition. You only met them in an encounter-table if you deliberately decided ''not'' to play one of the D-series tournament setpieces. Jermlaine subsequently got printed up in the [[Fiend Folio]], which foisted upon them two humanoid relatives: [[mite|The Mite]] and (at a remove) the snyad. As [[Underdark]] staples by then, [[Douglas Niles]] allowed them a presence in the [[Dungeoneers Survival Guide]] (here spelled "jermalaine").

When AD&D shifted into its 2nd edition, all gremlinkind hit their apogee - especially these little scamps. Jermlaine were first updated in the 2nd Monstrous Compendium, from which they then received pride of place in the Monstrous Manual, apart from all their pestie relations. [[Dragon Magazine]] in #241 bestowed upon them a ([[Greyhawk]]-specific) origin, and PC stats; a couple years later issue #262 did a full "Ecology of the Jermlaine", part of the [[Monster Hunters Association]] storyline.

They last appeared in an official capacity in the [[Monster Manual]] 2 for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], but were updated to [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] in the semi-canonical [[Mordenkainen's Fiendish Folio]].
