Where you hear it

gnomemalechicken01.ogg is the gnome version of the /chicken emote. The emote mocks a target as a coward, and the character flaps their arms and clucks. Every race and gender has its own take, but the gnome's is famously the silliest. It is about three and a half seconds of squeaky clucking. It is a top choice for a mocking reaction in Discord.

TriggerPlays when a male gnome character performs the /chicken emote.
