The few Gnolls living in cities are mostly slaves captured and forced to serve as soldiers, labourers, or gladiators. They are about 7½ feet tall and weigh 300 pounds.Personality Brutal and cunning, Gnolls are warriors and thieves, taking what they need without heed to rules. Those that have been raised in civilisation, usually through being enslaved, are still opportunists and schemers. Physical Description Gnolls are about 7½ feet tall and weighs 300 pounds, with dirty yellow or reddish-brown fur, large yellow or brown eyes which shine in the moonlight, digitigrade legs which seem too thin given their muscle mass, fur which tends to mat and stink when not properly groomed, and black manes. Relations Gnolls see others as resources, not partners or friends. The few who have been civilised use diplomacy instead of their blades to get what they want, but rarely return a favour in kind. As such, gnolls are not welcome and they have been segregated to their tribes in the plains.AlignmentSelfish, opportunistic, and greedy, most Gnolls are Chaotic and almost none are truly Good.LandsGnolls thrive best in wild plains, where they can strike at caravans traveling between cities. Their large size would make hiding difficult, but gnolls are cunning creatures and use tall grass and other environmental factors to their advantage. In the Last Lands they dwell on the southern shores, hiding in the swamps around the area of Shosnar. A few, enslaved and forced to work in Shosnar, have abandoned their barbaric ways.ReligionGnolls worship an array of nature spirits and minor gods. Those raised in Shosnar often revere Anubis and Set. Gnolls are more superstitious than pious, regardless of what they revere.LanguageThe Gnollish language is distantly related to Thosian, but only a skilled linguist would notice the connection. Most gnolls learn Thosian or Giff to work in Shosnar.NamesGnollish names tend to have harsh, barking sounds within them, and in general sound discordant to the ears.Racial Traits Gnolls are hyena-headed, savage humanoids that wander in loose tribes. Most gnolls have dirty yellow or reddish-brown fur. A gnoll is a nocturnal carnivore, preferring intelligent creatures for food because they scream more.
