A '''gnoll hunter''', {{brown|h}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. The gnoll hunter is an [[omnivorous]] [[Humanoid (monster class)|humanoid]] being that is a [[strong]]er type of [[Gnoll (monster attribute)|gnoll]], and like other gnolls they have [[infravision]], can be seen via infravision, will seek out and pick up items such as weapons, armor and gold, and is capable of entering [[Berserk (EvilHack)|a berserker rage]].

A gnoll hunter has two weapon attacks and a bite attack, and possesses [[poison resistance]].

==Generation==
Randomly generated gnoll hunters are always created hostile, and may appear in small [[group]]s. A [[Gnoll (EvilHack)|gnoll]] can [[grow up]] into a gnoll hunter, and a gnoll hunter can grow up into a [[Flind (EvilHack)|flind]].

A gnoll hunter is [[Monster starting inventory|generated with]] a [[bow]] and a stack of about a dozen [[arrow]]s, along with a {{frac|3|4}} chance of [[Plain armor|armor]] and an independent {{frac|5}} chance of a [[Plain cloak|cloak]]. They also have {{frac|3|4}} chance of generating with either a [[flail]] ({{frac|2|3}} chance) or a spear ({{frac|3}} chance) as their weapon, and will otherwise generate with a [[voulge]] ({{frac|3}} chance) or a [[morning star]] ({{frac|2|3}} chance).

==Origin==
{{wikipedia|Gnole}}
The gnoll is a creature that appears in various types of fantasy media, and is generally portrayed as a human-hyena hybrid or a form of humanoid hyena. The term originates from 1912 short story collection ''[[wikipedia:The Book of Wonder|The Book of Wonder]]'' by [[wikipedia:Lord Dunsany|Lord Dunsany]], with one short story titled "How Nuth Would Have Practised His Art upon the Gnoles".

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. This portrayal of gnolls is the basis for their appearance in EvilHack.

No one cares, no one remembers,
and it doesn't matter.
This is why we laugh.
