I've always thought Orcs or Hobgoblins were sort've Mongolish, but that's an interesting take. I can certainly see it being Matriarchical; Gnolls strike me a lot as Hyenas, more then wolves (But the same structure applies).I once had the party Save some gnolls; there were three humanoid races in an area with White Dragon blood in their veins, and the Lizardfolk had raided the Gnolls, captured all the sorceror blood and the children, and planned on pouring the sorcerors blood over some dragon eggs they had. Party saved 'em.I played the Gnolls very Native American/African/Aztecian. They claimed the corpse of the main leader (A half-dragon druid lizardfolk), used his hide for various things, and took his bones and heart, threw into a fire, and breathed in the smoke (They offered this honor to the most influential PC in the fight first). They believed the strenght of the enemy should be respected, and passed on. But I'm sure they wouldn't be against tearing apart a wounded foe like a pack of African Dogs.The structure was odd; they had a leader, and he was killed; his body guard (the third of command and the oen they met) had taken the chieftain's wife and children for protection. He was mated to the 2nd in command, a female, who took control over the tribe. It was really great fun roleplaying the 3rd in command, because he didn't know Common real well. I reasoned his language didn't have first or second tense adjectives (No I or you), or proper past tense pronunciation, so he called everything by the third tense 'He approached he and slew him, Hrush' Taps self 'had to run with her and hers'. And he tacked 'ed' on several words unneededly. Was most fun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
