	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. In spite of their devotion to Yeenoghu, few such gnolls have any interest in ritual, making gnoll shamans and clerics very uncommon and few in number - gnolls that worship Yeenoghu see their brutality as a sign of their devotion, painting the eye of Yeenoghu onto their weapons and armor and howling his name as a war cry in battle.

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. This may serve as the basis for gnolls being part of the gnome monster class in SLASH'EM and other derived variants.
