 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. The 1st Monster Manual for ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' and all subsequent material describe gnolls as aggressive desert-dwelling nomads that resemble humanoid hyenas, and actively raid and plunder other settlements; it also introduces [[Yeenoghu]], the demon god of gnolls who many of them serve and worship.
-Yeenoghu is also the demon god of ghouls, as established in the 3.5e ''Fiendish Codex I'' and retold in material of later editions. Yeenoghu gained dominion over them by subjugating of Doresain, the King of the Ghouls. Doresain was a former vassal of Orcus and controlled his own layer of the Abyss, the White Kingdom, until Yeenoghu’s army invaded and conquered them; the King of Ghouls swore fealty to Yeenoghu and had paid him homage since as a sworn ally, and the Prince of Gnolls rules all ghouls through his new vassal. As of yet, Orcus has not retaliated against Yeenoghu for this, with his attention being elsewhere.
