Seen as the Nomads have 'city's', how would a nomad live or look like inside one of them? It seems pretty hard for NomNoms to be a Morph flying inside a house, right?
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
But then with a more human-like body, keeping the head and tail intact and claws and some alien-ish paws

Nomads don't live in cities. They don't need gravity or houses either. They just flow around in some liquidity I imagine.
That picture of the city above would rather be a "living section" with supported gravity for infected hosts, as they have human needs and would kill their host's body when they leave them.
Lost's picture shows a Nomad Incubus, which is well explained in the wiki (and Nomad Lore pdf).
In the end, the term "Nomad City" is just used by humans, as they have no idea how they live or look like. Imagination > facts.
That 'city' doesnt look too human-body-friendly though. Let the endless discussion about Noms begin.

Yes they are, maybe they can compact themselves somehow? Who knows..

There is hardly any reason for a creature so well adapted to space travel (it's their natural environment) to compact themselves. In order to do what? Dwell in a confined space?
Nomad 'ships' are not the actual Nomad itself in all of the circumstances. There are other castes of Nomads which have different forms and purposes. (as an example, the Advisers)
Cities however I doubt would still be actual buildings, but merely a space where their technology runs, nodes of the mindshare, etc. Not much is defined in the lore about this, although it has never been major before.
