Gnome

Gnome, the Servant of Mother Earth, the Spirit of Earth

Unlike the other characters, Gnome has vastly differing appearances in Symphonia and Phantasia. In Phanatasia, Gnome stays in a cavern known as the Cavern of the Spirits. He looks similar to five rockets stuck in the ground. When he attacks, Gnome fires these rockets out of the ground, directing them to land upon the party. This makes it very difficult to attack him. (When summoned by the party, he does the same attack.) However, these attacks do not do much damage, either. This fact, coupled with the difficulty in hitting him, can draw out the battle's length. Symphonia's Gnome has him as a large mole-like creature, which Colette remarks as being "cute." Gnome carries a shovel and has a red "ribbon" on his head in this game. He attacks in a more typical Earth-element fashion, slamming the ground and casting Earth spells. Although his large size allows him to slam the party members to the ground, it also makes him a large and slow target for their attacks. Once beaten, Gnome remarks "Geez, you guys fight dirty with this four on one stuff." It is likely that, after being ganged up on, he split himself into multiple creatures to even the score in the future.
