Description

Gnolls speak Gnoll and sometimes Goblin or Orc.

Combat

Because of its armor and shield, a gnoll's Hide score is -6, which means gnolls always take special care to seek favorable conditions when laying ambushes (such as darkness, heavy cover, or some other form of concealment).

Gnoll Characters
