Dark Gnomes are creatures that can be seen in mountain areas. They will steal alcohol and plants related to alcohol production.

They usually wander around in packs of 5-10. They are moderately aggressive but not very strong. While 2-3 dogs will typically engage and defeat a pack of dark gnomes, the gnomes might prove a threat to a herbalist or other unarmed dwarf, especially if the civilian dwarf continually flees and does not defend himself. If there is no other protection available, the best way to save a dwarf in this situation is to draft him so he will fight back.

The only difference between mountain gnomes and dark gnomes is that dark gnomes have the [EVIL] tag instead of [GOOD] and are [NOCTURNAL] instead of [DIURNAL].

They're not agressive alone and will only harass your workers, unless they come in packs, which can be really annoying as they might kill some of your workers.
