The Bling Gnome, which sounds like such a great idea in virtual practice, leaves a lot to be desired when discovered squatting on your kitchen counter late Sunday night. There's nothing that could get me to pluck that reticent gold coin free from its housing, even if it were real. Borderline unsafe for work pics on the jump.

Starting in June people who pick up the box copy of Dungeon Runners at a store will get an in-game Bling Gnome.
The Bling Gnome is a pet of sort that runs around in the game as you play picking up all of the gold dropped from the baddies you kill while playing the free-to-play massive game. The gnome can also be told to pick up dropped items that aren't rare and eat them. He then poops out gold as a reward... seriously.
I love this idea, it saves all of the hassle of having to go back to town and sell off the crap you horde while out in the wilds adventuring.
Hit up the jump for the full explainer as well as some more pics of the gnome in action.

In a message thread over at Evil Avatar, someone suggests that if you bought the Oblivion collector's edition, you can use the included coin to create garish piece of jewelry. More disturbing, however, is one poster's plan to brand himself with the coin, thereby creating an eternal, and backwards-reading, tribute to the game.
