Goatswood Gnomes

The Goatswood Gnomes are statues that have been enchanted to life. They are dormant during the day, but come to life at night to carry out vile and devious acts.

In the RPG...

Goatswood Gnomes have 10 hit-points and 9-point armour, which makes them more durable than other creatures their size. Due to this armour, they are immune to smaller handguns, and even larger ones (.45) only have a 30% chance of getting through. One change made for the 7e Malleus Monstrorum is that they now only have 3-point armour against blunt weapons. Their CON, INT, and DEX have all changed, too. While the averages of each have remained the same, the number of dice on each has decreased, meaning that their range has been lessened. Their attack chance has also had a bump up, though the damage they can inflict has actually been lessened. The entry mentions their shark-like teeth, and in the previous edition, their bite dealt 1-4 damage, whereas now that bite is no longer a seperate attack, its damage is the same as those of its claws, which is a meager 1-2 due to their negative damage-bonus.

In a video game...

I think these little fellas would make cool enemies in a game, especially considering their surprising durability. A player might happen across them, thinking them an easy target, only to find their peashooter having no effect at all. The only hitch might be that they are native to Goatswood, though I'm sure that could be worked around quite easily.

In a film...

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'd be very surprised if evil gnomes haven't already featured in a horror film or two. They have the potential to be scary, but equal potential to be corny. It would be a fine line.
