Digby and Wilma Thistlespring
Digby and Wilma Thistlespring are Gorgug Thistlespring's adoptive gnome parents, tinkerers who come in from their workshop in aprons E1·00:18:06. Digby is bald with mutton chops and goggles, and Wilma wears a workshop bandanna E1·00:18:06. When Gorgug breaks his bed again, Digby mends it with a gnomish spell E1·00:18:56.
After Gorgug's first day, in which he died, they pick him up in a tiny gnomish car, having clearly been crying, and hug him E3·00:37:54 E3·00:38:17. Digby tells him, "it's not that I've died, but you're not alone" E3·00:38:28. At the end of the season Gorgug's biological father shows a photo of Digby and Wilma at the Thistlespring tree, and the Thistlesprings have dinner with Gorgug's biological parents E17·00:57:41 E17·01:12:32.

In season 2 they are ghost-catchers who greet Gorgug after the tour S2E1·00:31:53.

Near the end of the season a sphinx shows Gorgug a vision of a much younger Digby and Wilma with an orc baby in the Thistlespring tree, apparently quarreling with other gnomes S2E18·01:25:41.
