Description:
Gnomus muscus live deep in woods where moss thrives. They have grey stone-like skin, but from a young age moss begins to grow over them, and covers them within a few months. The long whiskers growing from their brow are used to sense weather changes and the presence of mushrooms. They spend most of their time napping, often half sunk into the ground between the roots of trees.
Gnomus muscus have a unique reproduction method, using their single enlarge tooth. The tooth is essentially an unfertilised embryo. Once it is placed in the ground, it becomes fertilized and begins to develop into a gnome.
Gnomus moscus are known to love mushrooms and flowers. They will not move for much, but will relocate for mushrooms. They also appreciate flowers (though not for eating), and are very happy when flowers grow on them.
