Gnomes (ノーム Nōmu?) are a race in Delicious in Dungeon.

Appearance and Biology[]

Their characteristic physical features include somewhat droopy eyes, large ears and rosy noses. Their hands and feet are also proportionally larger compared to their bodies. They are one of the shortest in stature of all the races, along with Half-foots.[1] They resemble dwarfs, but they're a bit slimmer, gnome female bodies give rounder, soft image. Gnome ears are like badger ears, they're quite solid (even around the earlobe), they don't move much and have thick cartilage. Some gnomes consider you uglier if your ear tips are too sharp.[2] Also many gnomes need correction for poor eyesight.[3]

Culture[]

Gnomes apparently have lived in harmony with nature spirits since time immemorial.[4] Gnomes have their own unique system of magic, and they borrow the service of the spirits as if they were their neighbors.[5] The difference between the gnome and elf systems magic is that gnomes ask the spirits in the air to generate a phenomenon; while elves compel the spirits to generate it. With gnome magic the results are less precise, but can be powerful and it's easier on the caster, that's why gnome magic is recommended for tall-men.[6]

Both gnome culture and the spheres in which they live are similar to dwarfs', and so other races tend to confuse the two or treat them as the same thing.[5]

Gnome populations are seen on the Eastern Continent and Southern Continent and in the eastern area of the Western Continent. Other races tend to confuse them with dwarfs. The two races also tend to live in areas that border each other.[5]

History[]

Gnomes were also involved in the war between the elves and the dwarves on the Island, fighting on the dwarves' side.[7][5] Most likely because of the different views gnomes and elves have on spirits, since both believe the way they use the spirits is "correct." Gnomes see spirits as something sacred where as elves saw spirits as natural phenomena.[6]
