'''Gnome''' is a [[monster attribute]] in ''[[NetHack]]'' that indicates when a [[monster]] should be considered gnomish.{{refsrc|monflag.h|118|name=M2_GNOME|comment=monster attribute M2_GNOME}} It has many effects, but most significantly it helps determine whether your actions constitute [[cannibalism]] or same-race [[sacrifice]].

It is easy to tell if a monster is gnomish, as all gnomish monsters have the word "gnome" in their name.

==Monsters==
In the [[Mazes of Menace|dungeon]], you can encounter the following gnomish monsters:
* {{white|G}} {{monclasslink|G}}:
** {{monsymlink|gnome}}
** {{monsymlink|gnome lord}}
** {{monsymlink|gnome king}}
* [[undead]]
** {{monsymlink|gnome mummy}}
** {{monsymlink|gnome zombie}}

==Effects==
{{todo|this section is incomplete and requires expansion}}
The gnome attribute is used to determine the following things:

*If you are a [[Gnome (starting race)|gnomish player]], dwarf and gnome monsters are more likely to be [[peaceful]].{{refsrc|makemon.c|953|comment=possibly make monsters peaceful}}{{reffunc|makemon.c|peace_minded|comment=is monster peaceful?}}{{refsrc|mondata.h|102|comment=are these races peaceful?}}
*Whether [[eat]]ing a monster is [[cannibalism]] for a gnomish player.{{reffunc|eat.c|maybe_cannibal|comment=cannibalism}}{{refsrc|mondata.h|85|name=your_race|comment=compare races}}
*Whether a [[sacrifice]] is of your own race for an a dwarven player.<ref name="your_race"/>{{refsrc|pray.c|1167|comment=own-race sacrifice}}
*What to give when wishing for the [[corpse]]s of [[quest guardian]]s.{{refsrc|objnam.c|2560|comment=wishing for corpses}}{{reffunc|mon.c|genus|name=genus|comment=the race of a monster}}
*What responses to use when [[chat]]ting with other [[role]]s' quest guardians<ref name="genus"/>{{refsrc|sounds.c|439|comment=chatting to others' quest guardians}} (possibly created by [[reverse genocide]] or found in [[bones]]).

==Internals==
In the source, the gnome attribute is represented by the macro '''M2_GNOME'''.<ref name="M2_GNOME"/>

... And then a gnome came by, carrying a bundle, an old fellow three times as large as an imp and wearing clothes of a sort, especially a hat. And he was clearly just as frightened as the imps though he could not go so fast. Ramon Alonzo saw that there must be some great trouble that was vexing magical things; and, since gnomes speak the language of men, and will answer if spoken to gently, he raised his hat, and asked of the gnome his name. The gnome did not stop his hasty shuffle a moment as he answered 'Alaraba' and grabbed the rim of his hat but forgot to doff it.
'What is the trouble, Alaraba?' said Ramon Alonzo.
'White magic. Run!' said the gnome ..
[ The Charwoman's Shadow, by Lord Dunsany ]

"Muggles have garden gnomes, too, you know," Harry told Ron as they crossed the lawn.
"Yeah, I've seen those things they think are gnomes," said Ron, bent double with his head in a peony bush, "like fat little Santa Clauses with fishing rods..."
There was a violent scuffling noise, the peony bush shuddered, and Ron straightened up. "This is a gnome," he said grimly.
"Geroff me! Gerroff me!" squealed the gnome.
It was certainly nothing like Santa Claus. It was small and leathery looking, with a large, knobby, bald head exactly like a potato. Ron held it at arm's length as it kicked out at him with its horny little feet; he grasped it around the ankles and turned it upside down.
