-'''Mountain gnomes''' are weak humanoid [[creatures]] that appear on [[Surroundings#Good|good]] [[mountain]]ous maps. Their intelligence is on par with [[dwarf|dwarves]] and other sentient creatures, but they lack the ability to communicate verbally, one possible reason they haven't formed a [[civilization|civilized society]]. They're a rather long-lived race, with the oldest ones living up to 250 years. In [[adventurer mode]], they're only active during the day.
-If you leave [[alcohol|booze]] out in the open, they will steal it, leaving your dwarves [[fun|dying]] of dehydration, but otherwise, they are "harmless", fleeing if confronted (to the point of running off a [[cliff]] if necessary). Given their small [[size]], they pose no physical threat to any dwarf and can be easily killed by anyone who isn't [[unconscious]], though they are known to scare animals and civilians away when approached.
-Gnomes can be easily trapped by placing a single [[forbid|forbidden]] [[barrel]] of booze in a small [[stockpile]] and surrounding the barrel with [[cage]] [[trap]]s. Since gnomes often travel in groups, several layers of cages should be used so that the bait stays untouched. [[Gnomeblight]] is extremely toxic to mountain gnomes, causing necrosis if somehow applied to them.
-Their [[evil]] counterparts are the [[dark gnome]]s.
-Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] mountain gnomes for their ''ability to hold liquor''. This is well-founded, as they have an inebriation dilution factor of 500, allowing them to guzzle down entire barrels of alcohol with next to no effect.

-There are many rumors of Gnomes holding the ability of speech. It is said they only speak when out of the presence of other intelligent creatures.
-One story follows a gnome that is repeatedly laughing. The gnome then makes an effort to distinguish itself from that of a goblin or an elf. It does so through a variety of actions, from hopping to the left to walking hunched over. The gnome then proceeds to horrifyingly declare, "I'm a gnome, and you've been, Gnomed!". This tale strikes fear into the hearts of many young dwarves and humans alike.
