 The fierce, hyena-like gnolls are an ancestral enemy of the mahirim. They live in roving, migratory packs, which survive by a combination of hunting and raiding. Unless severely outnumbered, gnolls attack mahirim on sight.
While brutish and primitive, the gnolls have mastered the use of simple tools and weapons. Their favoured weapons are clubs equipped with viciously jagged spikes fashioned from arrowheads, broken blades and, in a pinch, sharp rocks. Gnolls occasionally use more effective weapons that are scavenged from victims.
The gnolls are smaller of stature than the mahirim, with the average individual standing approximately 190 cm tall, but they are equally as powerful of build. They always hunt in packs, usually led by a highly proficient hunter.
