Painted Gnoll
Painted Gnolls, a subspecies of Gnoll, have fur patterns with a mix of black, brown, white, and yellow patches. They are slightly smaller and more agile than their hyena-like cousins, with a more slender build and longer legs adapted for running long distances. Painted Gnolls have a different skeletal structure that favors endurance over brute strength, allowing them to cover vast distances during hunts.
