Evil Gnome behavior and attack pattern
Several hostile gnomes may spawn, chase players aggressively, climb to higher routes, and keep attacking downed players.
PatternClose-range slap attacks can down a gnome quickly.
PatternAfter a first down, they may continue pressure until the player is fully eliminated.
