 actors.mobs.gnoll.desc=Gnolls are hyena-like humanoids. They dwell in sewers and dungeons, venturing up to raid the surface from time to time. Gnoll scouts are regular members of their pack, they are not as strong as brutes and not as intelligent as shamans.

-actors.mobs.gnollexile.desc=Gnolls are sometimes exiled from their society for a variety of reasons. The unusual grey fur on this gnoll indicates it was probably kicked out for just not fitting in.
