Gnot Just Another Gnome

Gnathan is locally known for leading themed hikes. “Mossy Walkies,” “A 20k Keeps the Doctor Away,” and “Scree Slopes for Bees” are some of his highest-rated rambles. Like many gnomes, he loves the outdoors so much because a toadstool house isn’t somewhere to spend 24 hours a day, even though they’re bigger on the inside.

This gnome features textures and cables – hence the ‘gnotwork’ pun. Cables and textures and gnomes, oh my!
