Kind like Gremlins?
Water harms him so as gremlin, but ths one is bad even without water
shareWater doesn't harm him as much as it harms a dog.
It is stated in the begining of the movie that his only problem with water is because he is "too dense", hence the scene that he almost drowns.
But no, water doesn't hurt him like in the Gremlin's movies.
I know this is a nitpick and I am late to the party, but water doesn't hurt gremlins, it causes them to multiply.
