Gnolls greatly resemble humanoid hyenas.[1] [They] attack settlements along the frontiers and borderlands of civilization without warning, slaughtering their victims and devouring their flesh.[2]
They are usually between 7-8 ft. tall, weighing around 250-320 lbs.,[3] Their whole bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur which becomes shorter as it surrounds their faces and clawed hands to reveal grey colored skin. Their pelts vary from mono-colored to spotted and their eyes are either yellow or black.[4] They use armor made of horn, metal, or leather[1] [or] scavenge [armor and weapons] from the corpses of their fallen victims.[2]
"The origin of the gnolls traces back to...the demon lord Yeenoghu [who transformed] hyenas...into the first gnolls..."[2]
Thirsting for blood and flesh, "no goodness or compassion resides in the heart of a gnoll...it lacks...a conscience... An enemy to all, and when they lack a common foe, they fight among themselves"[2]
