Garden Gnome Boy is a Monster kept inside the Facility. He was not listed on the whiteboard, nor was he seen during the System Purge.

Physical Description and Attributes[]

The Garden Gnome Boy appears as a typical garden gnome. He wears a green long-sleeved shirt and shorts that are a shade lighter, along with black boots and a red scarf. He wears a gnome's iconic tall, pointed red hat. The Garden Gnome Boy also carries a small hatchet. Its also possible that, since he is young and looks rather innocent, that he is able to deceive others into thinking he is harmless.

His hatchet or a garden gnome statue are what presumably summons him from the Cabin's Cellar.

Appearance[]

The Garden Gnome Boy is not seen during the film. He is only seen in the behind the scenes footage.

Inspiration[]

  • He may be a reference to the film Troll or Leprechaun. However, neither of the films include gnomes. It could also be a reference to R.L Stine's Revenge Of The Lawn Gnomes and the typical garden gnome and how some people possess an unnatural fear of them.
  • Another possibility is that the Garden Gnome Boy was inspired by the mythological Scottish fairy the Redcap, who carried a pikestaff similar to a long axe and soaked his woolen hat in the blood of his victims, hence his name.
