the gnome is a curious creature as it is a species that adapts to nearly all environments.

its main species the gnome are tiny balls with arms despite this there can be a surprising amount of variants such as the killer gnome, garden gnome, on fire gnome, giant gnome/halflings,explody gnome, pure evil gnome, and many other variants. even then they are still evolving it is unknown how many evolutions a gnome can have but .there are even angel gnomes luckily most gnomes are stupid and with there evolutionary potential there is also not that much power with the changes so gnomes have been come to be known as household pests. with the easiest way to get rid of them is by kicking them but there are a few gnomes that stand out from the rest (mostly for not being total idiots). as can be seen with the halfling as they have been recognized as one of the intelligent races as such have other relatives of gnomes such as imps, dwarfs, goldfish mermaids, and overweight dragons gnomes truly are everywhere as all these intelligent variants is because of interspecies breeding here is a list for all types

gnomes and demons create the imp

gnomes and humans create the halfling 

gnomes create goldfish and goldfish with mermaids is goldfish mermaids

gnome and humans, the second variant is the dwarf 

and finally, the overweight dragons are just adapted gnomes treated like children of dragons who can't tell the difference

but now we get to the dangerous ones yes the creatures who go bump in the night the reason gnomophobia exist the many evolutions of killer gnomes responsible for at least a thousand adventures death a year  and Jeremy may he rest in peace is a monster who eats your nightmares  for breakfast the next evolution in killer gnomes the boogeyman attempts have been made to exterminate them and most of the other gnomes but like insects, they never seem to go away with reproductivity values of over 100 (especially with the cockroach gnome ancestors of the now also common cockroach) yes gnomes will last forever (and probably in space as well) luckily they never take over as they are too dumb and all intelligence related to there lineage refuse to acknowledge  them as ancestors so gnomes shall forever be a scourge to the land
