Gnolls travel in clans and settle only in deserted grottos where access is limited and concealed. When sheltered by secrecy and stone, their timid dispositions relax and permit the enjoyment of gleeful festivals. On these occasions, gnolls put aside their sober, earth-toned clothing for more colourful garb. Though similar in appearance to dwarves, gnomes or even dwelfs, gnolls are a species unto themselves.
