Gnulkhin

Gnulkhin (gnolls) are a humanoid race that most closely resembled human-hyena hybrids within Faerûn. They were carnivorous humanoids, known for their savage culture and warlike ways.

It is believed by some that gnolls had traces of demonic blood, which may be evidenced by unusual features found among some of the gnoll bloodlines.  These may have included talons, gleaming red eyes, or black fur with fiery orange spots.  Use of detection spells have detected the influence of the Daziarn on them and they do not seem to age.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Gnolls are extremely tall, with the average member of the race standing on average between 7′0″‒7′6″ . Though gnolls are relatively lean for their height, weighing in usually between 280-320lb, they cut an impressive visage. In part because of their height and lean musculature, gnolls were very quick compared with many other races such as humans. Gnoll skin is greenish-gray, and their furry hide a light or dark brown hue, sometimes marked with spots or stripes. Many gnolls also have a dirty yellow to a reddish-gray crest-like mane that stood on end when they were angry.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Gnolls are constantly eating, or searching for things to eat.

Behaviour

Gnolls are highly aggessive.  They are not territorial, but do not recognize the ownership of territory as well.  The whole world is their stalking land.

They organize themselves into tribes and hunting parties, though they will turn upon each other when there is no other source of food.  Cannibalism is not frowned upon by gnolls.
