About this ancestry

Gnolls are a Hyena-like people who are in a constant state of insatiable hunger, with most dying around the age of 80 due to starvation. Due to this hunger, they walk a constant line between humanity and bestiality, with some giving into this hunger and becoming feral.
Gnolls are sometimes hired as trackers and guides due to their incredible sense of smell, which they sometimes use to hunt, identify others, or as a replacement for vision.
