[QUOTE="fissionessence, post: 4815487, member: 63357"] Well this plane is where the PC gnoll is from, so though these gnolls are different in demeanor from her, they shouldn't be biologically different; she was born one of them. One of the things she initially mentioned for her home plane was that the gnolls had other races as slaves, but she really isn't the type of player to delve to deeply into the backstory, so the rest is up to me. When you said dog headed people, I thought what if the dogs were 'loyal' to another race who were the smart ones and mostly in charge. When the dog headed people turned into gnolls from the demons, the tides turned and the slaves that the player mentioned are the race to which the dog headed people used to be loyal. I've actually already had too many animal-headed people in the campaign, though, so unless I wanted to make a theme of it and come up with a story explanation as to why that style is so prevalent in the multiverse, they probably shouldn't just be 'dog headed people'. Thanks for the suggestions and for helping me think through it! ~ [/QUOTE]
