Quarkmaster Gnomes generally have pale, peachy coloured skin with slightly darker tones reaching down their forearms into their palms. This skin is smooth in texture up until it reaches their hands, where it becomes rough and almost scaly. This was first believed to be because of their spelunking activities, until proven false by the babies of the species who also have this same trait.

Their ears are significantly smaller than most, causing them to be slightly short of hearing, however they're pointed much like their elven cousins. This allows them to hear the much finer details: Bugs scratching in the ground, individual segments of machinery clinking together, the individual threads of fabric in clothing and the like.

The insides of their mouths is lined entirely with smooth molars and premolars, with smooth incisors at the front. They lack canine teeth, and their incisors aren't sharp enough to slice through meat, driving them into an entirely herbivorous state. They are the only gnome species which only eats organic plant material.

Additionally, their eyes have horizontal pupils within them instead of horizontal or rounded. It's unclear why this is the case, but it's definitely useful to these individuals, as they don't have a need to hunt on long journeys and have an extremely wide vision, protecting them from any forms of danger.

Occasionally, but extremely rarely and considered to be a defective growth, these gnomes can also grow hooves on their feet. Sometimes this branches up into entire deer legs, making them look more like a short Faun than a gnome.

Donner gnomes appear to have no visible ears beneath the flaps of their caps when present, and instead only have holes much like a reptile. All Donner gnomes wear caps of varying styles and shapes, always red in colour, sitting comfortably around an unusual bone which sticks out of the back of their head. This bone has a similar appearance to the swirling look of a unicorn horn.

They use their caps to hide this embarrassing appendage out of shame for their growth, however it's entirely normal to be their for their subspecies. This growth is a normal feature of their skull and hides the entirety of their brain. Ironically, for having such a large brain, they aren't as intelligent as one would think.

Donner gnomes are entirely carnivorous, with mouths filled with sharp canines and incisors they not only are designed for ripping through the meat that they eat, but any organic being which they latch onto. In some cases, they're even strong enough to rip and tear through varying degrees of metal armour, depending on how thick it is.

Their skin is typically a pale green colour with speckles of darker greens and blues lining in varying patches, typically around their shoulders, knees and face but also anywhere else they may form. Sometimes, this is stained a red/brown colour.

Their eyes are often and empty and white, with their pupils being the same colour as their scleras, giving an empty and soulless appearance, one of the many things which makes them so terrifying. Additionally, the tips of their fingers are often capped off with sharp, black or dark brown claws usually stained with blood, dirt or some other substances depending on where they've been digging.
