The woodland, or forest, gnome is probably the most common.  But this is difficult to verify, as he is not fond of showing himself to man and has many escape routes.  His physical appearance resembles that of the ordinary gnome.

The dune gnome is a fraction larger than the woodland gnome.  He, too, avoids contact with man.  His clothing sometimes is remarkably drab.  The female of this gnome type does not wear gray clothes; hers are khaki-colored.

The garden gnome belongs to the general type.  He lives in old gardens, even those hemmed in between the new houses of modern "model" cities.  His nature is on the somber side, and he rather enjoys telling melancholy tales.  If he begins to feel too closed in, he simply goes to the woods.  But, as he is quite learned, he sometimes feels out of place there.

The farm gnome resembles the house gnome but is of a more constant nature and is conservative in all matters.

The house gnome is a special sort.  He resembles an ordinary gnome but he has the most knowledge of mankind.  Owing to the fact that he often inhabits historic old houses, he has seen both rich and poor, and heard a great deal.  He speaks and understands man’s language; gnome kings are chosen from his family.  These gnomes (Farm and House) are good-natured, always ready for a lark or to tease; they are never malevolent, with a few exceptions, of course.  If a gnome is really wicked—which happens only once in a thousand –it is due to bad genes that result from crossbreeding in faraway places. 

The Siberian gnome has been the most affected by crossbreeding.  He is centimeters larger than the European type and associates freely with trolls.  In certain regions there is not a single gnome to be trusted.  The Siberian gnome takes revenge for even the slightest offense by killing cattle, causing bad harvests, droughts, abnormally cold weather, and so forth.  The less said about him, the better.

Male Gnomes frown due to posing in harsh daylight.  At 275 years old he is in the prime of life...actual height (without cap) 15cm.  The adult male gnome weighs 300 grams Tool kit attached to belt.  Feet slightly turned inward to insure great speed (over grass, etc...) wearing deer fur boots.

The adult female gnome weighs 250 - 275 grams.  Female Gnomes tend to wear camouflage colors (gray or Khaki).  Until she is married she wears a green cap, with her braids sticking out.  After marriage, her hair disappears under a scarf and darker cap.  When 350 years or older she begins to show a light beard.  She usually only stays at home and doesn’t wander about.
