A gnome is a mythological creature and diminutive spirit in Renaissance magic and alchemy, introduced by Paracelsus in the 16th century. Gnomes have been widely adopted by authors and artists, including those of modern fantasy literature. They are typically depicted as small humanoids who live underground. Gnome characteristics are reinterpreted to suit various storytellers and artists. Gnomes are variously described as impudent rogues, jokers or tricksters, who are trying to peacefully defend their natural places from careless humans.
