Gnome

Gnome is one of the eight Mana Spirits in the Mana series. Resembling the mythical humanoid from Germanic folklore, Gnome typically represents the element of earth wherever he appears; and as such, he is often found in areas associated with dirt, stone, and precious gems hewn from earth. Gnome first appears in Secret of Mana.

Gnome's powers generally include manipulation of dirt and stone to create earthquakes, mudslides, and rockfalls; as well as the ability to summon gem fragments as razor-sharp projectiles to bombard enemies. He can also raise defensive walls and enchant weapons with the power of earth. Infrequently, he summons plant life to strangle or impede his opponents.

Gnome is typically depicted as a miniature gnome with a green cap and a bushy brown beard topped with a mustache. He can sometimes appear with one or two small mallets in his hands.
