ABOUT

The most favored priests of the gnoll gods are gifted with an undead hyaenodon servant. These reanimated hyenas from a bygone era are the size of a horse, with huge jaws that make up most of their rotting heads. Cruelly intelligent, they serve their masters, and only the most foolish priests think those masters are mortal and not gnoll gods.
