A Gnomish Vampire is a gnome who has returned from death via the Gnomish Vampire strain of vampirism.
- (All humanoids and monsterous humanoids are susceptible to different strains of vampirism, which include that of the basic Monster Manual vampire, that of the Nosferatu, that of the Vrykrolaka, and that of the Chiang-shi. There are also additional race-specific strains of vampirism that each target - and cannot be spread outside of - a specific race.)
In the case of gnomes, this race-specific vampirism is officially known as a Gnomish Vampire, and the strain itself is known as the Gnomish Vampire Strain. Hence, the term "Gnomish Vampires" refers not to all gnomes who are vampires, but only those vampire gnomes who specifically have the Gnomish Vampire Strain of vampirism.
To avoid this confusion, creatures affected by this strain are also called 
nonaris[1].
