Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse
a demonic warrior known as a flind.
A war band of demon-worshiping gnolls typically contains only one flind, and that creature sets the war band’s path. Because of its special connection to
Yeenoghu, a flind uses demonic insight to guide the gnolls toward weak prey ripe for slaughter.
Unlike other leaders who might skulk behind their minions, a flind leads the charge in battle. Its flail causes wracking pain, paralysis, and disorientation in those it strikes.
