Flinds were humanoid creatures related to gnolls.[5] They were particularly strong and vicious gnolls that would command their war band. While flinds were admired and respected by their lesser cousins, there was no love in the end for the superior breed. If not found in a leadership role over other gnolls, flinds often wound up as solitary hunters.[6]
Description[]
A flind was similar in appearance to a gnoll, being a bit shorter and broader in stature. A typical flind stood 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall and weighed about 300 to 350 pounds (140 to 160 kilograms). Aside from the size difference, flinds had less of a slope in their skull structure and their ears were more rounded.[6]
Culture[]
Although Yeenoghu was the demon prince primarily worshiped by gnoll-kind, on Oerth many flind clerics would worship Erythnul the god of slaughter.[6]
They led their war bands into battle wielding flails imbued with magic by Yeenoghu himself.[1] If a gnoll killed a flind, the gnoll would be transformed into a flind itself.[1]
Trivia[]
The common people of Waterdeep called flinds "dog men".[7]
