Gnolls are carnivores, and eat everything that they can get their hands on. They even eat other Gnoll's from a different pack, never someone of their own. If there is no enemy pack, or other of meat avialble, only then thay are willing to eat berries or other types of food.

Behaviour

Gnolls are very teritorial, their pack is their everything and they will defend their own when attacked. Even when it is against their own kind. The only time when the packs unite is when there is a common thread, or goal. Something that only happened once.
