Gnoll

(see Gnolls for more details)

For gnoll player characters, an important part of the backstory will include the gnoll's relationship to its former pack--were they exiled for having thoughts too different from the rest? Were they the sole survivor of a raid (or reprisal) and left for dead, only to survie but forever in search of a new pack to join? Or are they embittered individualists who seek to prove they need no pack (thanks to some earlier trauma that left them suspicious or distrustful of others)? The longer a gnoll travels with the same group of people, the more loyalty the gnoll will develop to that group, such that (at the DM's discretion) a gnoll may resist enchantments and commands that would cause harm to the members of their adoptive pack (either by gaining advantage on saving throws to resist, by gaining additional chances to resist, or by shortening the time under enchantment, again all at the DM's discretion).
