Gnolls
Gnolls are one of the younger races of Lordaeron. Indigenous to both the Alterac Mountains and the Redridge Range far to the south, these hyena-like humanoids are extremely aggressive and are often found quarreling amongst themselves. Though relatively intelligent compared to most beasts, they are not very bright by human standards. They have been known to manipulate each other into fights over ridiculous things like "whose shadow is larger". It has often been stated that the gnolls would be quite a fearsome race, if they ever stopped tearing each other to pieces long enough to organize themselves into an army.[1]

Brann Bronzebeard believes that they may be descendants of a hyena Ancient Guardian, though for the moment this is only a theory.

Story thus far
===Riverpaw Warband=== The Gnoll race has always been looked down upon as nothing more than a race of mongrels and pest by Human and Dwarven civilization. One of the most infamous Gnolls known to modern Stormwind accounts goes by the name of Hogger, who is the chief of the Riverpaw Gnoll warband. Although Hogger was defeated by band of Alliance adventures and interned by Stormwind authorities, in Stormwinds time of need, the house of nobles turned to a solution to bring the Riverpaw pack under the banner of the Alliance. Hogger whom interned in the Stormwind stockade was given a preposition with a gift of gold to lead the Riverpaw pack under the banner of the Alliance. Reluctantly, Hogger accepted as it was a better deal than what the Defias had him in for, and thus the Riverpaw Warband was born. Even though the Riverpaw Warband has joined the Alliance, they have much to prove to the other races and factions of the Alliance and aspire for treasure,glory and respect.

===Rot Hide Deathsworn=== The Gnolls living in Lordaeron were known for the nuisance as they earned a reputation of banditry and random assaults on small villages. Although these Gnolls like many of the residents in Lordaeron and their Human compatriots in the area, fell victim to the Undead Scourge. Though in death they never stopped their petty acts of crime, finding new ways to feed their life of brigands. They resorted to grave robbing and other deviant alternatives. It was until recently, Sylvanas sought another solution to the Rot hide problem. After delegating Horde adventures to wipe out the leaders of the Rot Hide, she took upon herself to bring Ashscar, a former notorious Rot Hide bandit under the control of the Forsaken to lead the Rot Hide. Now the Rot Hide Gnolls under the banner of the Horde, they will be expected to fight with valor and honor as the rest of the races of the Horde.
