A gnoll matriarch:
| |
A gnoll matriarch, H, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. The gnoll matriarch is a carnivorous giant demihuman gnoll that has infravision, can see invisible, and will seek out gold, gems and various other items to pick up. Though gnoll matriarchs are considered giants, they lack the boulder-throwing strength of other giants.
A gnoll matriarch has the ability to cast monster spells clerically, followed by a bite attack - her clerical spells include blind, paralyze, confusion, open wounds, and the ability to cast mass cure allies at range. She can also summon gnolls intermittently: there is a 1⁄20 chance of a gnoll matriarch generating one during each of her turns if you are nearby and in line of sight, which also respects extinction.
A gnoll matriarch corpse is poisonous to eat.
Generation
Gnoll matriarchs are only randomly generated in Gehennom, and are always created hostile. They are not a valid form for normal polymorph.
Ten gnoll matriarchs are randomly placed around the lair of Yeenoghu at level creation, and they also make up 1⁄20 of the monsters randomly generated there.

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