Gnome

The Gnome is an enemy that spawns in the surface layer underground. When a Gnome is not behind a wall on the surface during the day it will turn into a Garden Gnome that increases the Luck stat by 0.2 points whenever a player is within a range similar to banners or campfires.

Tips

 * Use Battle Potion and Water Candle to maximize their spawn rate.
 * Lava or traps can be used to kill any other creatures further increasing their spawning by reducing max spawns.
 * Gnomes don't move if the player is too far away, so it is crucial to get close enough to them in order to bait them into sunlight.
 * The player can use a Rifle Scope, a Sniper Rifle, or Binoculars to help locate them.
 * Gnomes spawn behind naturally generated walls. Digging tunnels will increase the likelihood of them appearing.
 * Gnomes can spawn directly on the surface, if there are natural walls present (usually from a player digging down). They will transform the moment they leave the wall they spawned behind, during the day.
 * The player will have more chances to see them if they increase their luck.
