'''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.

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.

[[Gnomeblight]] is extremely toxic to Mountain Gnomes. Unlike their [[dark_gnome|dark counterparts]], Mountain Gnomes are day creatures.

Encountered in 40.06, Mountain Gnomes seem to have the ability to Horrify Dwarves and animals to great effect, leaving massive numbers of Dwarves stiff as stone for several minutes while they drain your alcohol reserves.

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.
