Evil gnome

 is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Evil Gnome is just like any other common Intact Garden Gnome or Ruined Garden Gnome in stature, weight, and value but instead of the pointy, red hat and cheery demeanor, he sports a scowl and black rimmed glasses. This could be a reference made by one of the developers or it might just be a unique miscellaneous item. This item is not believed to be a quest item. Its Editor ID is "ScottEGnome", possibly an inside joke about a person involved in creating the game. However, because of it's appearance, It may also be reference to Scotty from Star Trek.

Location
This item is found within Fire Root Cavern in the section of the cave that takes The Courier up from the irradiated watering hole inhabited by multiple Fire Geckos. It is surrounded by plants and is, therefore, hard to spot.
