Gnolls

While the Gnolls have lost the history of their origins to the sands of time they remain a proud (mostly) nomadic species. They can often be found wandering the great grass plains of the world with their tribes. Some Gnolls however have found solace in settling in cities and taking up trades. While tribal Gnolls are not hostile or unfriendly towards city Gnolls they definitely do not understand them.

Gnolls are generally on the taller side for humanoids and can be found with a variety of fur patterns and colorations. They have sharply pointed ears that stick up and large canine teeth.
