Traits

Rampage. When the gnoll reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on its turn, the gnoll can take a bonus action to move up to half its speed and make a bite attack.

Grasping Tentacles. The corrupted gnoll lord can have up to two tentacles at a time. Each tentacles can be attacked (AC 17; 10 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a tentacle deals no damage to the corrupted gnoll lord, which can extrude a replacement tentacle on its next turn. A tentacle can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 15 Strength check against it.

Actions

Multiattack. The gnoll makes three attacks, either with its tentacles or glaive, and uses its Incite Rampage if it can.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) piercing damage.

Glaive. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage.

Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 14) if it is a Huge or smaller creature. Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the corrupted gnoll lord can’t use the same tentacle on another target. The corrupted gnoll lord has two tentacles.

Incite Rampage (Recharge 5–6). One creature the gnoll can see within 30 feet of it can use its reaction to make a melee attack if it can hear the gnoll and has the Rampage trait.

Description

The bond between Yeenoghu and his gnolls are strong, but easily exploited. Some gnolls seek to be closer to their dark lord and in this pursuit they maybe manipulated and lead astray. These gnolls are sometimes corrupted by some outside force claiming to bring them closer to Yeenoghu. This corruption takes their flesh and restructures it horrifically. These corrupted gnoll use this to create their own war band spreading their corrupted madness to these other members of their bands as false prophets.
