Like I literally had gnolls as antagonist in the early part of my current campaign. The gnolls and the humans had strained relationship for a while in this place, but recently the gnolls had become way more aggressive and seemed that they wanted to full on exterminate the local humans. The PCs aided the humans, and found out that one of the villagers had secret meetings with the gnolls. They suspected this person was traitor who was aiding the trolls. Turned out that there was division among the gnolls. A certain gnoll warlock (who had found an ancient Shoggoth and was in league with it) had taken over the gnoll tribe and wanted to exterminate the humans. The gnolls the villager was meeting with were those who were opposed to this. So with the help of these gnolls the PCs managed to take down the gnoll warlock, and eventually more cordial relatioship between the gnolls and the humans was achieved. I think having this nuance made the resulting story way better than all the gnolls just being murderous monsters would have.</p></blockquote><p></p>
