# Rampaging Dinosaur Gnomes This Garden Protector is Getting Rid of the Gnomes and Everybody Else By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-05-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-protector References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2014/05/28/garden-gnome-eating-kaiju/) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1c81/) It's unclear what gnomes and garden protectors actually do. While the name would imply that they're defending your lawn in the same capacity that a scarecrow would, what exactly is it protecting it from? This [Godzilla like garden protector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-popcorn-bucket) will try to answer that question, while also being the most intimidating lawn ornament you've ever known. What do all [garden gnomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-the-good-things-gro) fear? The answer would be Godzilla, just like everybody else. This [gnome eater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labubu) is 9 inches tall and is perpetually on a Reptar-like rampage through your front lawn. This garden protector will do considerably less protecting of your garden and much more blindly devouring any gnome it can get its hands on. The garden protector is cute, quirky and even a bit edgy, so those who have a bit of extra space should certainly look into one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gnome-eating Garden Protectors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more realistic and intimidating lawn ornaments that target specific garden pests. - **Quirky and Edgy Garden Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unconventional and attention-grabbing garden ornaments to cater to unique consumer preferences. - **Garden Protector Market:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new market segments and expand the range of garden protectors to accommodate various customer needs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home and Garden:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce tech-infused garden protectors equipped with sensors and automated pest control mechanisms to optimize garden maintenance. - **Outdoor Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate smart features, such as voice control or interactive elements, into garden ornaments to enhance the overall user experience. - **Landscape Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and designers to create unique and customizable garden protectors that can serve as focal points in landscape projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mythical Creature Garden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elf-welcome-solar-light.md) - [Dinosaur-Inspired Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiasaurus-rex-planter.md) - [Heroic Bedtime Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedtime-defenderz.md) - [Unique Hybrid Mystery Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-x-vegetable-gachapon.md) - [Collectible Dinosaur Desk Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-dino.md) - [Holiday Icon Inflatables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grinch-decor.md) - [Robotic 360-Degree Vision Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecovacs-goat-g1.md) - [Spooky Life-Size Animatronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-character.md) - [Hybrid Toy Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playmates-toys.md)
