Gnarly Gnome was a gnome/goblin monster created by Finster. He could control people with his music, which he played with his magical accordian. He had the ability to become invisible and he also wielded a rake as a weapon. Gnarly Gnome held the friends of Kimberly's deaf friend Melissa as hostages in a cave and made them dance uncontrollably with his music. He had planned to lure the Power Rangers out and also put them under his accordian's hypnotic spell. After being cooked a meal by Baboo, he fell asleep along with Baboo and Squatt. When Melissa led Kimberly and the others to the cave, a livid Rita screamed for Gnarly Gnome to wake up and hypnotize the Rangers so they could be put under her control. Outside, Kimberly had Melissa take cover, thereby preventing Melissa from seeing Kim and her friends morph into the Power Rangers. The Rangers took on Gnarly Gnome and they obliterated him with the Power Blaster, breaking him apart into pieces of stone. Despite this, Rita used her magic wand to make him grow and Gnarly Gnome became solid again as he became giant. During the Megazord battle, Gnarly Gnome first used his rake, but the Megazord soon took it away and used it against him. Gnarly Gnome then used his accordian to confuse the Megazord and cause the Rangers to see illusions of a city in the empty battlefield. He also had them hallucinate Gnarly Gnome as a city building and then a rolling boulder. The Megazord knocked the accordion away, putting a stop to Gnarly Gnome's music, and then the Rangers destroyed him with the Power Sword before he could retrieve his accordian.

Gnarly Gnome was also the second boss in the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Super NES game. He was also the first monster to also appear in U.S. footage on "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (though his episode would actually air after "Food Fight", which featured the episode's monster Pudgy Pig also appearing in U.S. footage at the food fair). Although the second boss of the Super Nintendo game, Gnarly Gnome's rake was one of the deadliest attacks in the game and also the hardest to avoid, except by standing on a high platform. He also possessed a new ability in the game, to shoot waves of pink energy out of his accordian. In the game, he is known as King Krome the Mountain Gnome, or King Krome for short&nbsp
