Gnoll

Gnolls are a humanoid race that most closely resemble hyenas.

Physical description
They are usually around seven feet tall and use armor made of horn, metal plates, and leather, and large weapons. Gnolls are generally depicted as savage, barbaric creatures that often practice cannibalism, and enjoy eating the flesh of other sentient species. Gnolls are not especially strong or intelligent, but they are cunning and, when pressed, will fight to death.

Subraces

 * Flind: These gnolls are shorter, broader, and stronger than others; flinds are often found leading a tribe or settlement of gnolls. Flinds use a nunchaku-like weapon called a flindbar, which consists of a pair of metal rods linked together by a chain.

Society
Gnolls are usually depicted as savage theocratic cannibals, with their power stemming more from numbers than sophistication. In recent years, however, gnolls are more and more often depicted as "noble savages," hyena-like scavengers, as opposed to monstrous killers. Additionally, gnolls possess a female-dominated society, comparable to the hyenas they are related to.

Religion
Gnolls are worshipers of the Demon Lord Yeenoghu, who also rules over ghouls (which explains a gnolls' taste for humanoid flesh). Some gnolls also worship the evil Erythnul, "God of Slaughter"; their vile disposition most likely influenced by their demonic patronage. The original deity of gnolls was known as Gorellik, but years of Yeenoghu stealing his followers has left him with little command of his people.
