Why doesn't DF have Gnolls? They would live near the Elves in the wooded areas and give them competition.

[Jakkarra]

vanilla dosent because toady hasnt (bothered/wanted to) do it. yet....

However, i do beleive that there are a few mods that contain Gnolls, search for em.

Also, dont put em near elves, they'll all die out (the elves i mean) unless the elves pull some awesome trick out of there hat.

Love, jakkarra

My mental image of kobolds comes from Baldur's Gate mostly. Small human-dog-hybrids that shoot flaming arrows at Imoen. Wouldn't last a single round in a fair fight, which means they have little to no motivation to fight fair.

Attempts to reconcile them with the cute huge-eyed puppy kobolds of 4chan have been, as of yet, unsuccessful.

HYENA-people are usually Gnolls. HOWEVER, DF kobolds are more Puppyish and "cute"


Love, jakkarra

Fix'd

I have the D&D monster manual, kobolds are lizard-dog-people, and gnolls are hyena people.

Random trivia: the name gnoll first popped up on a typo for D&D troll figurines. When asked what a 'gnoll' was, the creators first made up some stuff about it being a gnome/troll/ghoul hybrid of some sort. Eventually they developed into the hyena people we know today. (Interestingly enough some african tribes have myths about hyena people, not called gnolls of course.)

I'd have to say that the gnoll is the only one of the few D&D original creatures that meshes well with ones based on real mythology. They do WEIRD things with their races/creatures. They also do a good job of screwing up ones based on real mythology/whatever too. Troglodytes as lizards? Eh? The word pretty much means cavemen, as in the leopard skin wearing, club toting variety. As an aside, i think the original D&D kobolds were the dog-like ones and more recently they turned them draconian.

Take discussions somewhere else and post pics .

On the wall there's a masterful engraving of a demon. The demon is striking a menacing pose.

Still, capital,

Deon, that looks like a Psycho Demon or something.  [The image itself is quite good actually.]

[Deon]

Lolwut? PsychoDemon?

Demon: " WHO STOLE MY ADAMANTINE SOCK?!!?!!&^%&@!11"

Thank you for the note about mouth, I was doing it quickly and forgot to smooth the lines .

[Deon]

I wish I see the times when we'll be able to ride undead mounts and wield magic weapons .
I'd make a character like this:

Onward to futility!

This is a masterwork engraving of the human dark lord Unil Deathslaughters. He is pictured riding his dark mount babytrampled.

Two days later

This is a masterwork engraving of the human dark lord Unil Deathslaughters and dwarven recruit Olod Pussyweak. Olod Pussyweak is striking down Unil Deathslaughters. This artwork relates to the shooting and killing of Unil Deathslaughters by Olod Pussyweak on 223 at the fortress of The Holy power Of Baths.

[Deon]

Sounds reasonable .
