Gnome children are young gnomes found in the Tree Gnome Stronghold. Like adult gnomes, they can be killed or 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 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.
