The M stands for Sherlock's archenemy, Moriarty. Some ornaments are just manufactured evil. And Moriarty... he was the most evil of the lot. For years, Moriarty terrorized the ornamental world, until he met his match in Sherlock Gnomes. Suddenly, he had a worthy opponent. And beating Sherlock became his obsession. So Moriarty began to play his terrible game. He would kidnap gnomes, leave a trail of clues as to their location, and challenge us to find them within 24 hours, or he'd smash them.

~ Dr. Gnome Watson on Moriarty.

Moriarty's Pies, the taste that makes you smile, filled with Goobarb syrup That makes you eat it all awhile.
He is the titular mascot of a pie company who is obsessed with killing ornaments of London, as beating the titular character became his hobby and obsession. He is Reggie and Ronnie's boss and Sherlock's arch-nemesis.
Moriarty was a truck ornament resembling the mascot for a pie company called Moriarty's Pies. However, he was manufactured evil and somehow left the company to pursue his own ambitions. He loved destroying ornaments and was on a reign of terror until he met Sherlock Gnomes. At the beginning of the film, Sherlock Gnomes and Dr. Gnome Watson arrive at the Natural History Museum in London. Sherlock climbs on top of a dinosaur skeleton and tells Moriarty to show himself. Moriarty gladly does so, pleading that he will not stop until he destroys every gnome in London. Sherlock and Moriarty begin to fight, and Moriarty knocks Sherlock off, only for Sherlock to pull Moriarty's rolling pin and make him fall. Moriarty falls onto a crank which causes the skeleton to collapse and crush him, but Sherlock survives by using Watson's cane to grapple onto Moriarty's trap and descend to the ground. Unbeknownst to Sherlock and Watson, Moriarty survived by using his rolling pin as a support beam but lost his pie hat in the process. He saw how badly Sherlock treated Watson, got out of the skeleton, taped his hat back onto his head and started to plot his biggest scheme.
Moriarty's Biggest Scheme[]
It eventually turns out that Moriarty faked his death and that he learned how badly Watson was treated, which led to a strain between Sherlock and Watson. Deciding to exploit the situation, Moriarty sends in his two gargoyle henchmen Reggie and Ronnie to meet up with Watson and formulate a plan in having Watson pretending to be Moriarty in order to get through to Sherlock. Watson explains to the gargoyles about the location of every garden gnome in London (thanks to a certain map), and Moriarty uses a phone to take a picture of the map, allowing himself to gather all of the garden gnomes. When Sherlock and Juliet were trapped inside the Tower of London, the gargoyles betrayed Watson by throwing him, Sherlock and Juliet into a ship called the HMS Nimrod. Moriarty then reveals himself to be alive and that he tricked Watson into giving out the locations of the garden gnomes, who are held inside the Tower Bridge and glue down to one of the bridge's counterweights.
Moriarty reveals his ultimate plan to destroy the gnomes by the counterweight, as the bridge needs to be raised in order to allow the HMS Nimrod to sail through the Thames River. Sherlock, Watson, and Juliet escape where they have been put and use a drone to escape an HMS Nimrod and head to the bridge. In the meantime, Gnomeo manages to get the Red Goon Gnomes to dance on the bridge to fool several humans into thinking that there are still people on the bridge. This allows Watson to rescue the garden gnomes by freeing them with soap and water while Gnomeo and Juliet send the gargoyles to fall into the Thames River.
Defeat[]
Meanwhile, Moriarty and Sherlock are fighting on top of the Tower Bridge, but when Moriarty learns that Watson saved the garden gnomes, In the process, he angrily shouts at Watson and blaming him for ruining his life's work and then calls himself a cartoon cat which mean he was the most Date Expunged upon his hatred on the Gnomes and the full reason why he wanted to smash them to make his life easier and also provoking Watson with a phase spray painting himself all over his joyless life with the gnomes then throws his hat at the drone almost costing Watson, Gnomeo and Juliet's life and injures Sherlock's leg and tries to knock off Watson. Sherlock arrives and pounces Moriarty, knocking both of them off Tower Bridge. Watson grapples Sherlock, saving him, as Moriarty falls into the saltwater, where he's left floating away in defeat, just as he was about to vow revenge on Sherlock and losing his phone in the ocean which would make him more angry later on.

He claims to had come up to "Sistine Chapel of Evil Plans", which references James Moriarty from the original Sherlock Holmes material being called the Napoleon of Crime.
The scene that Sherlock and Moriarty fall into river in a cataract-like way was a reference to the original novel and film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, where the most famous scene is that both Sherlock and Moriarty disappear after they fall into a cataract, and later, it is revealed that Moriarty is dead because of that. However, unlike the original Moriarty, according to one of the film’s writers, Andy Riley, this Moriarty survived. This was because there was to be a mid-credits scene would have showed that Moriarty washed up at some sort of seaside resort and would have been put up in either a golf course or an arcade. However, this scene was scrapped.
He is also made of an unnamed rubber material.
He was originally going to be an ice cream mascot.
