Gnoll Tribes – WoW Dragonflight

Gnolls are a warlike race of vicious but simple-minded hyena-like humanoids who dwell in the Eastern Kingdoms, in Kalimdor, and in the Dragon Isles. Though highly aggressive, gnolls are notorious for being extremely unintelligent and prone to infighting, and love to let others do the hard work for them.

Locations

Gnolls’ main stomping grounds are the Eastern Kingdoms. Recently, they have also been seen in Kalimdor, though usually under the employ of one of the goblin cartels or pirate groups, although a few independent gnoll tribes have been seen in Feralas. A gnoll seer named Sayge travels with the Darkmoon Faire as well. He gives out fortunes and different buffs based on how you answer his questions.

Gnolls were first seen in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Thrall leaves his home after a dream tells him to meet with a stranger. He destroys a camp of gnolls, and levels up. The gnolls in question were most likely Mosshide gnolls, due to their location and coloration.
