Gnoll are feral humanoids that attack settlements along the frontiers and borderlands of civilization without warning slaughtering their victims and devouring their flesh.
Demonic Origin: The origin of the gnolls traces back to a time when the demon lord Yeenoghu found his way to the Material Plane and ran amok.
Packs of ordinary hyenas followed in his wake, scavenging the demon lord’s kills.
Those hyenas were tranformed into the first gnolls, parading after Yeenoghu until he was benished back to the Abyss.
The gnolls then scattered across the face of the world, a dire reminder of demonic power.
Nomadic Destroyers: Gnolls are dangerous because they strike at random. They emerge from the wilderness, plunder and slaughter, then move elsewhere.
They attack like a plague of locusts, pillaging settlements and leaving little behind but razed buildings, gnawed corpses, and befouled land.
Gnolls choose easy target for their raids. Armored warriors holed up in a fortified castle will survive a rampaging Gnoll horde unscathed, even as the I towns, village, and farms that surround the castle are ablaze, their people slaughtered and devoured.
Gnoll rarely build permanent structure or craft anything of lasting value.
They don’t make weapons or armor, but scavenge such items from the corpses ot their fallen victims, stringing ears, teeth, scalps, and other trophies from their foes into their patchwork armor.
Thirst for Blood: No goodness or compassion resides in the heart of a gnoll. Like a demon, it lack anything resembling a conscience, and can’t be taught or coerced taught or coerced to put aside its destructive tendencies.
The gnolls’ frenzied bloodlust make them an enemy to all, and when they lack a common foe, they fight among themselves. Even the most savage orcs avoid allying with gnolls.
