		+	==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.
