Gnolls are a race of hulking, humanoids that resemble hyenas in more than mere appearance; they show a striking affinity with the scavenging animals, to the point of keeping them as pets, and reflect many of the lesser creatures' behaviors.


Gnolls are capable hunters, but are far happier to scavenge or steal a kill than to go out and track down prey. This laziness impels them to acquire slaves of whatever type is available, whom they force to dig warrens, gather supplies and water, and even hunt for their gnoll masters.
| Role =
  <!--Values: Heavy, Killer, Leader, Minion, Shooter, Sneak, Tank, Threat, Villain, or leave blank-->


Creatures other than hyenas and other gnolls are either meat or slaves, depending upon the temperament of the tribe. Even a dead or fallen comrade is a fresh meal for a gnoll, who might honor a distinguished tribe member with a brief prayer, or thoroughly cook one that has died of them as slaves, either to defend or improve their lair or to trade with other tribes or slaver bands.
| Description = Gnolls are a race of hulking humanoids that resemble hyenas in more than mere appearance; they show a striking affinity with the scavenging animals, to the point of keeping them as pets, and reflect many of the lesser creatures' behaviors.


Gnolls relish combat, but only when they have the obvious advantage of numbers. In other situations, they prefer to avoid combat except as a means of winning a kill from another hunter, or as a clever ambush to bring down a large meal. These hyena-men see no value in courage or valor, instead preferring to flee once it becomes clear that victory is not possible, noting that it is better to run with tail tucked away than to lose one's tail entirely.

Even a dead or fallen comrade is a fresh meal for a gnoll, who might honor a distinguished tribe member with a brief prayer, or thoroughly cook one that has died of a wasting disease, but otherwise view a dead gnoll as little different from any other creature. The more "civilized" gnolls do not eat their prisoners, but instead keep them as slaves, either to defend or improve their lair or to trade with other tribes or slaver bands.

  <!--List the move type and distance (in feet). (E.g. "[[Jet]] 60 ft.") -->
Any time the gnoll takes a standard attack or a full attack, it may also attempt a snapping bite attack on the same target. This attack may only be used once per round.  Snapping Bite +13 (1d6+3/20x2)
  <!-- [[Burrowing]], [[Tunneling]], [[Earth Glide]]        -->

| NudgeSpace =
  <!--Values: any positive or negative number, or leave blank. Max recommended is +/-2. This is number of SQUARES; will be converted to feet.-->
  <!--NOTE: If type or subtype is "Swarm", the space will default to 10 ft.-->
  <!--NOTE: If type or subtype is "Troop", the space will default to 15 ft. + the normal space for the component creature size (e.g. 20 ft. for size medium)-->


; Distracting Flanker (Ex)
| NudgeReach =
Any time a gnoll marauder and an allied gnoll are flanking a target, BOTH gnolls gain +2 AC and CMD against that target's attacks. The gnoll maurauders harry the target any time it attempts an offensive maneuver, protecting itself and its ally.  Note that Distracting Flanker only provides an AC and CMD benefit against any target this gnoll marauder happens to be flanking. If an enemy who isn't flanked, or is flanked by different gnolls, attacks the gnoll marauder, Distracting Flanker provides no benefits.
  <!--Values: any positive or negative number, or leave blank. Max recommended is +/-2. This is number of SQUARES; will be converted to feet.-->
  <!--NOTE: If type or subtype is "Swarm", the reach will default to 0 ft.-->
  <!--NOTE: If type or subtype is "Troop", the reach will default to the normal reach for the component creature size (e.g. 5 ft. for size medium)-->


Note that all gnolls are aware of how Marauders protect their fellows, and will seek to take advantage of it if possible.




=== TREASURE ===
<!--  GENERAL ATTACK INFORMATION  -->
sell value of approximately 2,375 gp


| MeleeOrNatural = Melee
  <!--REQUIRED; Values: "Melee" (has ONLY a Primary attack), or "Natural" (has Pri and Sec attacks)-->


=== COMBAT TACTICS ===
| MultipliedDamageType =  
Gnoll marauders will use javelins if they cannot close to melee with their targets, but they prefer melee.
  <!--Roles only (leave blank if no role); Values: "Attacks" (+atks/rnd), "Damage" (+damage/rnd), or "Hybrid" (default; both +atks/+dmg)-->


In combat, gnoll marauders will use acrobatics to tumble, avoiding attacks of opportunity as they position themselves for flanks.  Because of their high movement speed, they will avoid the penalty for tumbling more than half speed (-5) whenever possible.
| IgnoreSecondary =
  <!--Values: "Y" to hide, or leave blank to show; Hides all information about a secondary attack, in the event that the monster has only a single attack during a full attack (e.g. swarms)-->


Gnolls will make aggressive use of flanks to buff their to-hits and defenses.


If the fight begins to turn against them, gnoll marauders have the nasty habit of turning their attention to the strongest target, in hopes that, by taking that target out, the other enemies will flee.

<!--  COMBAT TACTICS  -->
 
| CombatTactics = Gnoll marauders will use javelins if they cannot close to melee with their targets, but they prefer melee.
 
:In combat, gnoll marauders will use acrobatics to tumble, avoiding attacks of opportunity as they position themselves for flanks.  Because of their high movement speed, they will avoid the penalty for tumbling more than half speed (-5) whenever possible.
 
:Gnolls will make aggressive use of flanks to buff their to-hits and defenses.
 
:If the fight begins to turn against them, gnoll marauders have the nasty habit of turning their attention to the strongest target, in hopes that, by taking that target out, the other enemies will flee.
