 The gnoll of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' is introduced in [https://archive.org/details/monsters_and_treasures/page/7/mode/2up the first boxed set] of the game, and gnolls are described in ''Book 2: Monsters and Treasure'' as a "cross between [[Gnome]]s and [[Troll]]s (...perhaps, Lord Sunsany did not really make it all that clear)". These early gnolls were stated to be similar to hobgoblins with +2 morale, while a gnoll king and his bodyguard fought similar to trolls without regenerative power. This may serve as the basis for gnolls being part of the gnome monster class in SLASH'EM and other derived variants.
