They come in a variety of colours along the lines of Red, Blue and Purple. With various styles of demonic horns, piercing demonic eyes and tails. they have suffered racial abuse for most of their existence but there are always people who love them and want the people around.

Gnoll Not All Bad

Gnoll are monstrous anthropomorphic Hyenas, closely related to Leonin. Everything from their appearance to their culture and general nature says they are a danger to regular mortal society, And for the most part they are.
Gnoll packs are often only found in the mortal planes when they are on the hunt for blood, Normally at the behest of the Arch-Devil that watches over them but sometimes just for sport or because they are hungry.
The pack leaders are given means to travel between the mortal realms and the Nine Hells freely.

But like any group of intelligent beings not all are so keen on this way of life. Its been known for more some Gnolls to defect, so to speak. Though there are no ramifications or punishments to incur from such an action.
Some Gnolls go out to try to make their own paths in life, normally this means some sort of criminal or mercenary.

Its hard for a Gnoll to shake their ravenous hunger even after leaving the embrace of the Nine Hells. It can take years of dedication to change their natural desires, Channelling them into other activities can help.
Some Gnolls channel their lust and hunger into energy for blacksmithing or mercenary work, Taking time to relax also helps you may find some Gnolls who spend long hours under a tree or floating in a lake in quiet areas to clear their minds of noisy temptations.

Gnolls who are born and grow up outside the Nine Hells have less intense desires but they are still there. Its like the intrusive though most beings have but for a Gnoll it is loud and causes sever discomfort until satisfied. This does not excuse their actions but it does form a warning of things to watch out for when a Gnoll is around.
The easiest way to defuse a Gnoll is simple offering them some sort of large meal, Cattle, sheep or a buffe at a tavern. Another way would be to direct their bloodlust at an enemy, bandits for example.
