Gnoll

Gnolls have 2 arms, 2 legs, and a tail. Each arm has a hand with 4 claws, and each leg would have a paw with 5 toes. The Tail is bushy and small.

Gnolls reproduce Sexually. Pregnancy lasts 2 months. Alternativly, a Hyena who eats meat left the the Demon Lord Yeenoghu will become a Gnoll after about a month.

Gnolls age incredibly quickly, becoming adults at age 3.

Gnolls live best in hot Forests and Savannas.

Carnivore. Gnolls can eat any meat, and are very cannibalistic.

Besides getting taller, Gnolls do not change when they get older.

Gnoll leadership depends on which kind of Gnoll is in the Warband. A warband can be lead by a Fang of Yeenoghu, a Pack Lord, or a Flind.

Some Gnolls can be used in wars. Typically, a Gnoll warband is captured by a force, either a country, a Mercenary Guild, or a Highly dangerous being, and are trained specifically to attack people not wearing their uniforms.

Gnolls have Hyena heads. They can grow a fur beard, but it cannot be on their actual face, instead being on their neck.

Gnolls are located everywhere.

Gnolls tend as intelligent as a human child. Non-Feral Gnolls tend to be about as smart as a regular Human.

Gnolls can see up to 60 feet in darkness.

Gnolls treat Hyenas the same way Humans would treat their Hunting dogs.

Gnolls don't typically have names, being little more than whines, shrieks, and growls, as they see names as a useless thing to have. Powerful Gnolls, like Fangs, Pack lords, and Flinds will gain names from Yeenoghu. These Gnolls will also have a Warband name as a sort of Last Name, which is two different words to form a single Warband Name. A Gnoll that grows up in a non-gnoll family, or they joined an Adventuring Party, will use the Family name as their Warband name, or will use the Adventuring Party group name as their Warband name.   Gnoll Names: Aargan, Alark, Andak, Ethak, Eyeth, Ignar, Immor, Oduk, Orrorn, Otal, Ulthak, Ustar.   Warband name (First Part): Abyssal, Dire, Howling, Rabid, Rotted, Screaming   Warband name (Second Part): Harbingers, Hunters, Mongrels, Mutilators, Ravagers, Slayers   Gnolls who grow up in civilized settings get names from a priest of the area.

Gnoll females with the most amount of Humanoid bones worn are considered the most beautiful.

Typically, a Pack lord if female, and most Gnoll Warbands are Matriarchies. However, when a male Flind is created, he will lead the Warband, which usually becomes Patriarchies.

Gnolls will simply decide who their mate is, and they don't care about anything else. Tamed Gnolls will give a grand speech of why they should be together.

Female Gnolls usually want a Male who could protect her while she took care of the baby. Both genders, however, only want a mate that they aren't going to eat.

Gnolls have not attained any form of Technological level. They steal any weapons and armor they find, and kill the owner. The most Gnolls as a species, without any help from other species, has ever created, was the Gnoll witherling, which is an undead version of the Gnoll.

Gnoll. Some can speak common, but most only speak Gnoll, which is a combination of barks and howls.

Gnolls don't normally have a form of meeting they usually just walk up to the creature and begin talking. However, Gnolls that grow up outside of Warbands will walk up to a creature and sniff the creature they are meeting, as they would try to get their scent, so that they are familiar with them for other meetings. They don't have their own goodbyes, instead just simply Bidding goodbyes.

The only clothes Gnolls wear is usually scraps of armor and anything that he/she finds to their liking.

Surprisingly, Gnolls have a strong sense of family, being willing to kill to protect their kin. All Gnolls also share one similar trait, that they are very aggressive. They see Intimidation as a way to assert their place in life, rather than a way to threaten people.

Gnolls will make a necklace out of random creatures' teeth and bones to signify one's danger. A gnoll, or any creature the Gnolls deem strong, with this Necklace is usually somewhat respected by the warband.

To Gnolls, helping other races is considered disgusting, and worthy of death.   Gnolls that grow up outside of their warband have an opposite disposition. Typically, they believe that hurting others without probable cause is a great offense.

The first band of Gnolls appeared in 343wr, when the Demon Lord Yeenoghu came to the Material Plane to hunt Living things. While he would hunt and kill the Living creatures, a pack of Hyenas would follow him, and would eat the meat he would leave behind, warping them more into his image, and making them much smarter than they where. Yeenoghu liked them, due to them mimicking how he hunted, and until he was sent back to the Abyss in 346wr, he would teach them to kill, to torture, and to hunt sentient creatures. They would follow his teachings, and would worship him as their god.   It would be discovered that Gnolls are not born evil in 1254wr, when a circus had separated a captured gnoll family with their cubs. The Cubs would mimic how the Circus workers acted, and would be freed when the Young Gnolls began speaking Common. They would easily be integrated into Circus work, and when they grew old, where allowed to retire. While they would not have children, the Circus would kill whole Gnoll Warbands and would take the Gnoll children. This time, they would raise the Gnolls in slavery, teaching them to obey without thought. It would take until 1299wr until a small pack of Gnolls would escape, fearing death from causing a death of one of the Performers, as they accidentally had not securely set one of the trapeze wires, dropping the most popular Acrobat about 50 feet onto her head. These Gnolls would try to escape into the fringes of Society, finding a Home in the City of Bal'oug, otherwise known as the "The City of the Weird." Due to their high reproduction rates, they would easily be able to travel, but would only be accepted in large cities, and even so, they were disliked by just about all, due to their Evil raisings.   Gnolls where affected by the Calamity event. Some Gnolls would be mutated to become bigger, more monstrous, and far more deadly. Almost every warband saw this as a blessing of Yeenoghu, and treat these monsters and their god's avatar. Gnolls outside of Warband's would suffer as much as any other humanoid. After the Calamity event, however, the non-Warband Gnolls would end up living better live than before. They helped repair society, and many protected settlements from Slaadi incursions. In 2299wr, the first Gnoll, who was named Aegislash, was crowned as a Noble. In 2323wr, a Gnoll, named Oglima, became a Lord of Luik.

Most other living creatures hate Gnolls, including non-sentient ones. Trolls and Troglodytes are the only exception to this rule, as the Gnoll life style of killing and eating everything suits them.   Even Gnolls who have changed to be much less Feral are hated, as due to the knowledge that, even though an Orc can be born into a good household, he will still be a violent Orc.   Demonic Minotaur and Gnolls have a fierce Rivalry, due to their gods also having a fierce rivalry.
