I Love gnolls, not only are they an alternative from Orcs, Hobgoblins, Goblins, & Kobalds. They act differently and in strategic manner, due to the fact that they love using enslaving other people and races, rather than just killing outright. Definately a race you don't want to underestimate due to their savage appearance.

Writing a Book, large section deals with Gnolls, Politics, fighting and inter species working so that really helped me!!

2:04 Gnoll commandos truly a weapon to surpass metal gear.

I like the idea of a group of players walking through a forest and they come across a town full of gnolls and they only know that they are safe when the gnolls ignore them or one just waves hello to them. I think that DnD not making the more intelligent encounters a bunch of planet of hats is interesting.

Dude how have i not found this channel just started watching and instantly addicted

Came here confirm how to pronounce 'Gnoll', came away with so much more! Thanks!

Gnolls are a seriously underrated race in d20 - with all their inherently bad rep; they have a ton of potential as Player Characters. I'm thinking; Player Character wise, a post apocalyptic style Gnoll, like something out of Mad Max or the Hive Cities of Warhammer 40k; like Necromunda. His setting is stoic, grim-dark and edgy, much like his attitude. The references to post apocalyptica reflect on the aesthetics his Weapons and Armor. He's a defector of his own kind; having rejected them, witnessing the horrors of Gnoll savagery firsthand, and learning the truth behind his own hellacious upbringing. Gone rogue, having deserted (narrowly escaped from) his own kind and Warband, and braned as a hertic and apostate unto his own people, he is now a renegade, a vigilante and mercenary; he hires himself out as a bounty hunter and a sell sword, living from whatever pay he earns. He tries to reject his dark and violent heritage, even though he's plagued by frequent nightmares, cryptic visions & violent flashbacks, as well as the demonic whiles and whispers of both Yeenoghu and Lamashtshu (of D&D & Pathfinder respectively) - much like the dark whispers of Gruumsh for Orcs. This means suffering the intens agony of resisting the macabre urges of Yeenoghu's violent teachings, as well as resisting the seductive lulls of Lamashtshu, while dealing with the gnawing hunger pangs and violent urges inherent to Gnolls. This leads to a grim, stoic and cynical attitude towards life in general, with nights plagued with haunting visions & memories as well as recurring nightmares; remedied only by coping mechanisms and made possible only potent sleep aids, anxiety meds, depressants - and days filled with dull aches, schizophrenia, cigarettes, heavy drinking, eating canned foods or rations, and the aggressive tendencies that come along with being a Gnoll. Learning the sobering truth about his own creation he is now repentant of his dark past, he hopes one day he can find redemption and maybe even salvation. He sees a better future for his kind, one that would one day renounce their evil nature in it's entirety, and turn unto an existence of honor and goodwill. He's affable enough towards people, if they don't get on his bad side. He's surprisingly well spoken for a Gnoll, but he's gruff, stoic, and a man of few words; more about actions and deeds over words. He doesn't talk much, but he has a broad vocabulary, picked up from overhearing dialogues in various settings. As far as inspiration goes; Listening to metal and rock, and game soundtracks like Turok, Quake, DOOM, and Nuclear Throne music and their like is the perfect set of music for inspiration for a Gnoll Player Character.

Nice lore coverage. I like the explanation of the non-Yenogu followers especially.

I would have loved the video if I could hear ALL of your words..

you did good, but the music is a bit loud.

I’m assuming you aren’t doing this series or KZfaq anymore which sucks but this is exactly what I was looking for.

One of my summens is a half red dragon gnoll. She is a little bit aggressive but she is loyal to her Kobolt master.

Would Gnolls be matriarchal like hyenas?

Gnolls are furry orcs

Thank you I'm working on a bestiary and I was running out of ideas for Monsters

I'd build a "Fangs of Yeenoghu" Gnoll as a witchdoctor character by using the "Way of Mercy" monk subclass.

I first learned about Gnolls in the Dungeons Dragons board game but haven't seen them much elsewhere.

Any animal-like beast: *exist* Ppl: It’S a FuRrY!!!

I love Gnolls.

Gnoll are obviously inspired by the Kishi/Utongen an African cryptic which are anthro hyenas that have the ability to turn into humans. There is also the Bhudai. A shaman who transforms into a hyena

what about Flinds?

Yes, please check your sound balance, etc. Otherwise, a fine job.

Your voice is..... Jesus! I couldn't finish listening to this story. 🤧

Gnolls are cute n fuzzy. i captured one unconcious and keeping him to myself. :3

Love it! More!

my character is a gnoll that rejected his pack and is trying very hard to live with humans because hes smarter then most gnolls and is trying very very hard to learn to read lol

where did you find the picture of the gnoll with the white warpaint at 2:24

It's a shame, what WotC has done to Gnolls in 5e.

where did they get that high tech gear and weaponry? 3:02

3:08 ok... where did the High Tech Gnolls come from? That is so metal and 40k.

liked it but the music is bit loud^^

I play the Neverwinter MMO and one of the NPC's is a gnoll who is a harper spy.

WHAT!? YOUR GONNA HAVE TO SPEAK UP!

I remember that the 1e and 2e art depicted gnolls as plantigrade rather than digitigrade, as they appear in the 3e/4e art. Which do you think is more likely or accurate?

This is about the D&D version? Or the Pathfinder version?

Ok, I´m no native english speaker. But I assume I can handle the language pretty good. Although, it´s very hard to follow your explanations...too fast, to quiet, too much mumbling...!

What do you think would happen if a warband was traveling with a gnoll and ran into a pack of gnolls. My character is a good gnoll who was raised by humans and has never even met an other gnoll or heard of Yeenoghu. Would the other gnolls be intimidated, or would they try to approach, or what?

But just how evil or what exactly a gnoll is differs on the the D&D setting or if its even D&D at all.

So basically that hyena guy from The Island of Dr. Moreau. Okay

Hyena creatures by there some kind of werewolf thing

Please do a video on the Shedim

I’m the 722nd person to like

what i heard was interesting. But as i couldnt hear half of what you were saying i couldnt finish watching

I thin Heroes 3 M&M took much inspiration from D&D

Bard, you forgot an aspect of Gnoll society. Gnolls are very often matriarchal, much like their animal counterparts, where the strongest female of a clan of spotted hyenas is the leader.

Gnolls are daddies

In wich existing settings majority of gnolls are civilized?

It's a werehyena!

song a bit too loud dude

Sounds like my ex wife's family

Let's be honest. Has anyone ever actually wanted to Play as the Gnolls?

Im like the bestiary comunity

That’s all you could dig up? Stop joking!

you talk too low

really struggled to understand the speaking - mumbled, no diction, very monotone, disappointing as wanted to learn !!
