'''Gnome children''' are young [[gnome]]s found in the [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]]. Like adult gnomes, they can be killed or [[Thieving#Pickpocketing|pickpocketed]]. All of them use [[melee]] unlike their adult counterparts.

Gnome children can be found throughout the Tree Gnome Stronghold, particularly in the [[Grand Tree]].

Gnome children can be [[Thieving#Pickpocketing|pickpocketed]] at level 75 [[Thieving]]; doing so yields 133.5 [[Thieving]] [[experience]]. It is recommended not to pickpocket them until the player has level 85 Thieving, because even with [[gloves of silence]], the player will fail most of the time.

Gnome children are well known for their wise and often philosophical quotes and riddles. They sometimes warn of a new world coming from the underground, possibly referring to [[Arposandra]].

A gnome child may also offer the player a [[king worm]].
