Gnolls are statuesque humanoids with lean, powerful bodies and wolf heads, with a biological relationship to orcs that likely predates these races' arrival on the Prime Material Plane. They possess a wolf's tail which they prefer to wear beneath loose-fitting clothing, such as kilts and cloaks. They dwell in sub-polar lands occupying the coasts of the Barents, Kara and Yukaghir seas. Gnolls are marginally dense and single-minded, hateful of outsiders, highly loyal to their clan shamans — moreso than to the clan itself — and have been a bane for the peoples whose land borders theirs.
