* [[Gnoll (SLASH'EM)]]: The first implementation of gnolls as monsters occurs in [[SLASH'EM]], and these gnolls also appear in [[SlashTHEM]]. All gnolls in SLASH'EM are a part of the [[Gnome (monster class)|gnome]] [[monster class]], as in the Lethe patch, and do not use their own monster flags or any similar flags to distinguish them from gnomes, instead simply lacking the [[Gnome (monster attribute)|gnome]] monster attribute. A comment in [[monst.c]] indicates that SLASH'EM gnolls were part of the [[Humanoid (monster class)|humanoid]] monster class in [[SLASH]] and other versions prior to incorporating the Lethe patch.

The gnolls are a group of monsters that appear in many variants of NetHack, with their implementation varying widely depending on the variant in question. In almost all instances, they are related in some significant manner to Yeenoghu, who is considered the demon lord of gnolls: in vanilla NetHack, his encyclopedia entry state that he still exists despite his followers being "wiped off the face of the earth".

Gnolls first appear in the Lethe patch designed for NetHack 3.3.1.

List of gnolls by variant

Below is a list of each implementation of the gnolls as a distinct group of monsters, the variants they appear in, and the common characteristics that they share amongst each other.
