Gnome Drivers are gnomes which ride along with Gnome Mages and Gnome Archers on trained tortoises at the Battlefield and north of the Tree Gnome Stronghold.

They appear to wear a gnomish variant of granite equipment, but have extremely low defence and appear to be unarmed. If a mounted tortoise is killed, the driver and his comrades will simultaneously attack the player that killed the tortoise. If the player they engage flees, they become nonaggressive, and eventually disappear when the tortoise respawns.

Trivia

• After killing a mounted Tortoise in the Tree Gnome Stronghold, the Gnome Driver appears to be doing half of the attack emote.
• If you kill the tortoise and leave or even log out and come back, the Gnome Driver may still be there and will attack you, due to a glitch.
