We all make mistakes, t'is hard to remember all the details... ;)
Conspiracy Theorist:
Just listening to the radio and the biography of Roald Dahl. In 1943 Dahl published The Gremlins his first childrens book. Disney bought it with the aim of animating it (which never came about). Disney still published the tie in and own the IP. Gremlins were not a traditional folk creature, they are like the Baku.
I have posited Winter has a beef with the Disney Corp (see the depiction of Mab in Sword in the Stone) when Disney looks to have chosen Summer.
Could the Magic Kingdom have attacked Castle Dresden as part of the ongoing feud? Harry had stationed Winter troops at the Castle making it a mortal fortress of Winter. Is The Mouse the new big bad in Harry’s life?
Interestingly the current Baby Yoda/Gremlins litigation should be seen in the light that Disney owns the IP to The Gremlins.

Other than his size and maybe his ears Grogu can't be called a Gremlin... Not even close.

... ?
Is there actual litigation? A quick Google sees a flurry of press coverage a month back, "'Gremlins' Creator Joe Dante Claims Baby Yoda Was 'Stolen' From Gizmo" &c, but no actual lawsuits.

Size, "tubby" sort of teddy-bear build, oversized/elongate ears, large eyes... The claim isn't utterly absurd on the face of it.
But there would be one GIGANTIC problem with any lawsuit: Yoda himself. Yoda has all those features, too: tubby build, oversized/elongate ears, large eyes. Grogu is obviously a "baby yoda" (much moreso than a Gizmo-ripoff).
And Yoda pre-dates Gizmo (Empire Strikes Back 1980 -vs- Gremlins 1984).
If a lawsuit were ever filed, sith lawyers from the House of Mouse would eat them alive.
