After that, if the player follows the Nome, they can find a hole in the ventilation. The player can frighten off the first Nome by opening the refrigerator. (Details for the achievement can be found in the Achievements page.) In total, 13 Nomes can be hugged in the Little Nightmares game to unlock an achievement. They normally stay in dark places, once they are revealed, they will run away to different directions, mostly ending up squeezing into narrow gaps where other larger entities cannot fit into. Nomes can be found inhabiting and skittering around the Maw. Additionally, Nomes also emit a croaking sound. They have large hands and feet, and are fairly smaller than other children found in the Maw. Nomes are small, humanoid creatures with papery white skin and conical heads or hats that resemble mushroom caps seemingly styled after gnomes or dwarves from folklore. Though experience has taught them to be skittish, some still try to make friends with strangers. Unpredictability can be found throughout The Maw, and so can the Nomes.
