Gnoll Fang of Yeenoghu is a unique Gnoll enemy found in Act One. They are feral hyena-like humanoids that slaughter indiscriminately in an attempt to quell the insatiable hunger their demonic creator, Yeenoghu.

The closest form of a Cleric among the Gnolls, Fangs tap into the unholy powers of their demonic god to unleash soul sapping magic to weaken their prey.

Involvement

The Gnoll Fang of Yeenoghu starts a dialogue when you approach it. Investigating the source of its parasite reveals the conditions it was bound to; a DC 2 Wisdom check can convince it to either turn against its gnoll and hyena allies, or the Zhentarim in the cave nearby. After the fight, the Fang is still hungry. A DC 10 Wisdom check followed by a DC 15 Wisdom check can convince her to consume herself.
