A gnoll is a humanoid creature originating in the Dungeons & Dragonsfantasyrole-playing game; a gnoll resembles a cross between a man and a hyena. Gnolls are savage, barbaric creatures that often practice cannibalism, and enjoy eating the flesh of other sentientspecies. Gnolls are not especially strong or intelligent, but they are cunning and, when pressed, will fight to the death. One notable race of gnoll is the flind; flinds are often found leading a tribe or settlement of gnolls. Flinds use a weapon called a flindbar, which resembles a pair of metal rods linked together by a chain.
