Changes: Leper gnome

Revision as of 19:07, 21 March 2007


					Template:Racebox

A Leper Gnome is a mutated creature originating from true gnomes. Almost all leper gnomes are aggressive to both Horde and Alliance and will attack them on sight. Maddened by the Disease some Leper gnomes seem to believe that any player they lay eyes on is a trogg. However, most can still take orders from Sicco Thermaplugg.

History

Many more gnomes were killed than troggs when Gnomeregan was flooded with radiation. Even worse, though, many gnomes still within Gnomeregan's halls became horribly mutated and insane changing into what are now known as Leper gnomes. Leper gnomes vaguely resemble normal gnomes. Emaciated and sickly, their skin is bloated and green with gangrene while their eyes glow with a color and light similar to that of the radioactive pools in their once beautiful city. Even worse than their physical mutation, though, is the perverse madness caused by the poisoning that twisted their bodies. While individuals among them may seem saner than others, all are irrevocably twisted. Leper gnomes claim Gnomeregan as their own, and, led by Mekgineer Thermaplugg, defend its halls with horrible constructs and their own prowess. They continue their battle against the troggs, who are more dangerous now due to radioactive goo that clings to their rocklike skin. Perhaps the worst enemies in their minds, are true gnomes, whom the blame for their current existence. They regard High Tinker Mekkentorque as a demon, and his followers not much better. The regard all all other creatures as intruders and quickly put them down. Recently, however, some adventurers have seen leper gnomes in company with Dark Iron dwarves. Many theorize that Thermaplugg is attempting an alliance between the two underground races, in an attempt to strengthen his own forces and finally defeat the troggs.Template:Cite

Locations

Leper gnomes are found almost exclusively in Gnomeregan, the doomed capital of the gnomes. However, there is a leper Gnome named Gazoo in the Undercity, another named Haggle sifting through the trash in the Deeprun Tram and several slave leper gnomes (hostile to the Alliance, however) in the cellar of a Blood Elf clothier guarded by a level 60 succubus in Silvermoon. There are also many leper gnomes at the Steamvault in Coilfang Reservoir.
