A gnome king:
| |
| Reference | monst.c#line1471 |
A gnome king, G, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. A gnome king is the strongest type of gnome, and is an overlord to his kind.
Like standard gnomes, a gnome king has infravision and can be seen with infravision, and hostile gnome kings will collect items that they can use. A gnome king has a single weapon attack.
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Gnome kings are known as gnome rulers, with "king" and "queen" being gendered titles.Generation
Randomly generated gnome kings are always peaceful towards gnomish and dwarvish characters, and will be hostile towards the other playable races. A gnome lord can grow up into a gnome king.
There is a 3⁄4 chance of the northeast room opposite the possible tool shop in the Bazaar Town map of Minetown containing a gnome king; a statue of a gnome king is also guaranteed to appear in a lit portion of Grotto Town. One gnome king each is also generated in The Gnome King's Wine Cellar and The Mimic of the Mines maps of Mines' End.
Gnome kings may appear among the hostile G that generate in throne rooms, as well the monsters randomly generated by looting a throne while confused and carrying gold (provided there is no chest on the level).[1] A gnome king may additionally serve as the monster occupying the throne within the room.[2]
Starting inventory
Gnome kings are eligible for offensive items, defensive items, and miscellaneous items.
A gnome king placed at level creation has a chance of being generated with a single candle: the chance is 1⁄20 if he is in the Gnomish Mines, and 1⁄60 otherwise.[3] The candle has a 3⁄4 chance of being tallow and a 1⁄4 chance of being wax, and will be lit if the gnome is generated in a dark area.
Gnome kings that are not generated on the Rogue level have a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with one of the five default weapon sets: 3-14 darts, a crossbow and 3-14 crossbow bolts, a bow and 3-14 arrows, a stack of 3-5 daggers, or an aklys.[4] As an overlord to his kind, a gnome king's weapons will always be at least +1.
Strategy
Gnome kings are still somewhat slower than an unhasted, unburdened character, but their weapon attack is fairly strong, and the enchanted weapons they can generate with can be deadly for a character that lacks solid AC and/or HP.
History
The gnome king first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
Encyclopedia entry
... 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.
