Creature Feature: Oh Gnome You Didn't

Creature Feature created by Michael is a feature that focuses on the wonderful world of fantasy, science fiction, and horror creatures.

Today we have our first royal guest. Princess Ozma of Oz has agreed to join us today to discuss gnomes.

Me: Welcome your majesty it is so great you could come here today.

Ozma: Is this Kansas, Dorothy has told me a lot about her home Kansas. But I have never seen it.

Me: No this is Texas. We're in the same country as Kansas, but we are further south.

Ozma: It is very hot here. Is it this hot in Kansas as well.

Me: Texas is warmer than Kansas typically. But both can hit over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ozma: I am not sure what that means, but it is rather unpleasant weather here.

Me: Well it is August and we have very hot weather. You should come back in October that is when our weather is quite nice.

Ozma: Sorry you may proceed with your questions.

Me: You have experience with gnomes. Are they really short and look like rocks?

Ozma: Fairly short but they are taller than the munchkins. You are correct that they are made of stone.

Me: What are they like?

Ozma: Absolutely horrendous creatures I despise them especially the Gnome king and what he did to my people.

Me: What did he do?

Ozma: He turned all my people into purple ornaments.

Me: Did you say ornaments like Christmas ornaments?

Ozma: More like vases and decorations than ornaments that you hang on those trees like you do. He also destroyed Emerald City.

Me: That's awful.

Ozma: Yes, it was very dreadful.

Me: So do gnomes have magic?

Ozma: Yes, that is how he transformed my people into ornaments and then I even became a vase. It was very cumbersome and odd because I was not able to speak or to move. 

Me: So how did you get out of that?

Ozma: Luckily Dorothy was able to use eggs to help us in our escape.

Me: Eggs?

Ozma: Oh, yes eggs, gnomes fear eggs. Didn't you know? They think that it is like poison and will cause their destruction.

Me: I was not aware of that. Well thank you for your time.

  1. I've always thought gnomes were creepy, and the newest Goosebumps movie doesn't help, haha. I thought this was cute, though! :)

    1. Thanks! Gnomes are definitely a lot more evil than I thought after doing some research. Surprised they aren't in horror films. I guess because they aren't very intimidating!
