Gnolls

"Gnolls are one of the group of races put under the umbrella term "beastfolk." They closely resemble hyenas in appearance. Now, I'm more than willing to say that I most likely just have bad luck, but in my travels, I noticed a trend in gnolls being quite aggressive in general. Of course, many of them were warriors or mercenaries, who, of course, already tend to be rather brutal and curt as a necessity of their lifestyle, but it is interesting to note that I met few gnolls who were not warriors or mercenaries. Those that were were typically male, as opposed to the female gnolls who made up a majority of the warriors I talked to."

Physical Traits
Gnolls tend to be average in terms of height, ranging from around 4'8 to 7'0. Gnolls essentially resemble bipedal hyenas, with long, curved necks, and long torsos that end in slightly stubby dog-like legs. They tend to have either tan or pink skin.

Gnolls tend to be covered in very short, smooth fur over their entire body. In addition to this, they typically have a mohawk-like mane that goes from the top of their head to the base of their tail.

Diet
Gnolls tend to be carnivorous.

Lifespan
Gnolls typically live around 70 years.

Reproduction
Gnolls give live birth after a period of pregnancy that generally lasts 6 months. Most gnoll pregnancies produce two children, though a third child is rare.

Population
Gnolls make up a majority of the population in the nation of Cannae, in addition to some living in the kingdom of Anutek, or in the more arid areas of Magdalene. They are almost nonexistent in the Aglington Empire.
