They have teal skin, yellow eyes and a wonderful variety of [[beard|beards]]. They are just as intelligent as their [[Mountain_gnome|fairer kin]], and like them, lack a spoken language. There is no formal dark gnome [[civilization|society]], but nevertheless, in Fortress Mode they will come for your [[Alcohol|booze]] in groups of 5 to ten and scare the [[carp]] out of any civilians they encounter. If they reach your alcohol they'll guzzle it with such efficient speed that your [[dwarves]] will soon be dying of thirst unless you have steady access to [[plants]] or [[water]]. They are even capable of stealing alcohol directly from your dwarves, if say, an Axedwarf is busy fighting a goblin <strike>liberator</strike> child-snatcher, the dark gnome will walk right up and drink their personal supply of booze (if they have one). They have even been seen swarming caravans and chugging booze between getting hacked to bits by the caravan guards. |
Despite their apparent malice, dark gnomes are not particularly violent and will run in terror when chased. They're able to equip [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] that are appropriately sized for them, but this is rarely seen. Any [[dwarf]] or [[dog]] can easily hurt them, but be wary of [[combat|fighting]] on [[mountain|mountainsides]], where a dwarf may charge the gnome, miss, and [[gravity|fall a very long distance.]] | Despite their apparent malice, dark gnomes are not particularly violent and will run in terror when chased.
