Gnoll

Gnolls are brutal hunters with a demonic ancestry who are fiercely loyal to their pack from the desert lands of Shoenonh  across the ocean to the northeast of Brymtusc. They are driven by an insatiable hunger, which many Gnolls consider a gift granted to them by the Slavering Maw  as a sign of the god of excess' favor, though gnolls who break away from the warband may view this as a curse.

Gnoll Traits
Age. Gnolls reach adulthood by the age of 5 and live to around 40.
Size. Most gnolls are between 6 and 7 feet tall, and stand with a hunched posture. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Bite. Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes.If you hit with a bite attack, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Demonic Hunter. You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Athletics, Intimidation, Perception, or Survival.
Insatiable Hunger. The influence of the Slavering Maw prevents you from ever fully sating your hunger. As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). Once you use this trait, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Rampage. When you reduce a creature to 0 Hit Points with a melee attack on your turn, you may use a bonus action to move up to half your speed and make a bite attack.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Gnoll. You can also understand but not speak, read or write Abyssal. Gnollish is a language that sounds like growls, giggles, yells, laughs, whoops and whines, the intonations and duration of these sounds affecting the meanings. The grammar and vocabulary is concise and imperial, as necessitated by their war-mongering lifestyles of issuing clear and effective commands to each other in the heat of battle, and its writing is hieroglyphic. When speaking Common, some Gnolls often sound imperious and brusque.
