Lawn gnome
Lawn gnomes who were known as “professionals at ceramic, glass, and polyurethane repair” (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Elevator) existed in one universe.
They were first glimpsed by Mika and his mother Hattie, passing menacingly through their garden, armed with various weapons. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Very Small Assault) They left when they were contracted via a mobile phone call to perform the repair (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: A Very Pink Assault) of the Great Glass Elevator after its sudden arrival in the west garden of the Strange and Wonderful House.

One of the members of the Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes appeared to be an animate plastic lawn gnome. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)
