{{Monstergirls}}
As one of the [[demihuman]] races, you'd expect gnomes to get the [[monstergirls]] treatment pretty regularly - they are, after all, as close as you can get to a canon [[shortstack]] race in D&D. But, you'd be surprised; gnomish monstergirls are actually very rare, even though attractive female gnomes have been canon to D&D since at least 3rd edition. The root cause of this? Probably the fact that gnomes don't really have any unique defining culture or traits to build from. After all, what does a sexy female gnome have that you can't get from, say, a good-humored female [[dwarf]], or a mischievous [[halfling]] [[illusionist]]?

For the most part, if you see a "sexy" gnome on /tg/, /d/ or /aco/, it'll be either a [[Rule 34]] of the gnomes from [[Warcraft]], or else a tinker gnome heavily inspired by said - for all Warcraft's faults, it's still the closest thing to a unique and non-annoying gnome culture that people are familiar with... okay, aside from the Feywild & Golarion gnomes, at least.

One of the few /tg/ sources to address this issue is the [[Book of Erotic Fantasy]]. It claims that gnomes really enjoy sex and that bisexuality, partner swapping and group sex are common. They are responsible for some of the most elaborate sex toys and manuals, including the famed ''Gnomish Kama Sutra'', which is often banned outside of Gnomish lands. As long as it does not involve [[Loviatar|BDSM]] gnomes will try it at least once, and later try it again in new and interesting ways. Foreplay is considered to be very important for both sexes, and the act itself is supposed to be fun and exciting for everyone involved. Breeding with other species is about as difficult as it is for dwarves, making gnomes more likely to [[Humanity Fuck Yeah|try everything at least once just to see how it feels]]. This outlook on sex sets them apart from halflings and elves with whom they frequently overlap: to elves it's about the extension of the relationship while for halflings it is what binds the community together on a personal level. This outlook can be added to [[magitek]] interpretations to make them the premier manufacturers of sex toys and dolls... which is sometimes already used for the [[Warcraft]] gnomes.

==MGE==
The [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]] didn't really know what to do with gnomes. It used the name "Gnome" for its Earth [[Elemental]] mamono, a voluptuous [[slime]]-girl-like figure of earth (with its "Dorome" mud elemental variant probably being based on the dorotabo, a yokai that appears as a mud-man), used the common look of a gnome monstergirl for its [[Dwarf]], and gave the "mad tinker" archetype to its [[Gremlin]], a demonic [[loli]] [[catgirl]].
