 Gnolls are generally known to live in warm plains, though they were highly adaptable and could be found living in most regions, sometimes even underground; they were less common in arid and arctic regions. Gnolls are often depicted as savage warmongers driven by primal instinct and the thrill of the hunt: they begin fighting among one another at a very early age, and are more likely to demand answers than to ask questions, which gnolls see as a basic demonstration of strength, rather than an act of hostility. The scavenging of gnolls are both a tendency towards collecting souvenirs and trophies and a means of tracking foes, as well as a primary method of access to technology from other cultures - gnoll armor is very commonly kitbashed together from scavenged pieces of armor.
-Though gnolls have a well-established reputation for brutality and bloodlust, they also have a strong emphasis on blood ties and family, even if this friendliness was not extended across packs and bloodlines. This tendency in particular is strong enough that a gnoll separated from their clan and family will be driven to form a surrogate "pack" from those whom they choose to befriend, and is as loyal and faithful to these unlikely allies as they would be to their own siblings. Similarly, not all gnolls have a disposition towards evil, much less slaughter and slaving, though  - most gnolls are still quick to anger and prefer the company of their own, and many other beings wil find certain gnoll practices such as scavenging and carrion-eating quite alien. though they will also peacefully interact with and may rarely befriend other chaotic beings, such as bugbears, hobgoblins, ogres, orcs, and even trolls. Gnolls of all kinds also have an affinity for hyenas and hyaenodons, and many keep them as pets or as hunting animals.

 ===dNetHack===
 The implementation of gnolls in [[dNetHack]] is also used in [[notdNetHack]]. These gnolls are entirely different from the ones used in SLASH'EM and other variants - they are scattered across a few monster classes, and are defined by the <code>is_gnoll</code> pointer in [[mondata.h]]. As Yeenoghu is considered the demon prince of gnolls, many are found in [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Branches/Lord Levels#Yeenoghu, Demon Lord of Gnolls and Ghouls|the dun savanna of his lair]] in [[Gehennom]]. The gnoll monsters of dNetHack are:
