- Rockpaw Gnolls - A pack of the Sabertooth clan, these Gnolls are tunnelers and live in The Caves, an outlying district of Qeynos. The Rockpaw tend to be guards and managers. In the pack hierarchy they are higher than the Dustpaws.
- Dustpaw Gnolls - A pack of the Sabertooth clan, these Gnolls are tunnelers and live in The Caves, an outlying district of Qeynos. The Dustpaw tend to be tunnelers and other workers.
Skindancer Gnolls
The Skindancers are the surface-dwelling Gnolls in the Southwest of The Thundering Steppes.
Bloodtooth Gnolls
These are the surface-dwelling gnolls found near The Mirror in The Thundering Steppes. Clan affiliation unknown. They may, in fact, be a pack within a clan.
The Splitpaw Gnolls
The Splitpaw gnolls rule the caverns beneath The Thundering Steppes. The Splitpaw have a very rigid caste system, with titles indicating both Class and Rank.
Note: Even though there is a game mechanic where you earn the trust of the Splitpaw Gnolls through completing a series of quests, there is no actual Faction for them.
Underpaw Gnolls
A rebel pack from the Splitpaw clan that have gone cannibal, dwelling in the The Drowned Caverns off of Splitpaw Den. Just like the Splitpaw, they are caste-oriented.
Anaz Mal Gnolls
These are the surface-dwelling Gnolls of the Desert of Ro
Blackfang Gnolls
These are the cavern-dwelling Gnolls of The Silent City underneath the the Desert of Ro. They frequently dress in the mummy wrappings found within the Silent City, but the gnolls themselves are very much alive.
Sareth'Tal Gnolls
The Sareth'Tal were a tribe of agrarian gnolls, completely peaceful, living in the area known as the Loping Plains. Then the Dwarven King, Stormhammer, sent an expeditionary force to establish military outposts and mining operations. The Sareth'Tal complained but took no hostile action, having no military. The brigade commander, Ranthok Redbeard, received orders from the King to negotiate a settlement with the gnolls but, instead, he ordered his troops to massacre the Sareth'Tal. In his anger, Brell released the Avatar of Below, destroying the dwarves. The ghosts of the Sareth'Tal and the Redbeard brigade soldiers can still be seen there where they fell. This act of Hate is the taint that haunts the Loping Plains. [1]
The Quaketail Pack
These are the gnolls currently resident in the once-dwarven city of Kaladim. They coexist with their fellow Serilians: the Goblins of Clan Boombottom, the Bugbears of the Terrok Clan, and the Kobolds of the Frothbark Pack.
