Homebrew Awakened Gnoll Species Details

Gnolls are feral, hyena-headed humanoids that attack without warning, slaughtering their victims and devouring their flesh.

Awakened Gnolls, whether by the Awaken spell or some other divine or arcane means, forgo their savage nature to become more self-aware and intelligent. They may still cling to their primal nature or look to distance themselves from it entirely to pursue a new life away from their animalistic brethren.
