A Gnoll Lord in Dungeons & Dragons is a powerful and highly authoritative figure among gnolls, a savage and violent humanoid hyena-like species. Gnoll Lords are typically more intelligent, imposing, and dangerous than regular gnolls, often acting as warlords or leaders of gnoll tribes. They embody the primal and chaotic nature of gnolls but with a greater sense of leadership and tactical prowess. These leaders are often driven by bloodlust, seeking to expand their territory and lead their followers in raids and wars, driven by an almost animalistic desire for destruction.

Gnoll Lords are usually seen as the top of the gnoll hierarchy, commanding lesser gnolls, hyenas, and other monstrous creatures. They are often worshipped by their followers as demonic or divine figures, with many Gnoll Lords forming pacts with darker deities like Yeenoghu, the demon lord of gnolls, in exchange for power and favor. These leaders may have both physical strength and supernatural abilities that make them formidable opponents. They often wield powerful weapons, such as massive axes or other brutal instruments of war, and can harness dark magic, further elevating their threat.

In campaigns, a Gnoll Lord might act as a major antagonist, driving conflict through raids, leading warbands against settlements, or even seeking to expand their rule through violent conquest. Their cunning and ruthless nature make them a significant force, and they are capable of orchestrating large-scale operations, often with a focus on destruction and terror. Players confronting a Gnoll Lord would face not just physical combat but the psychological threat of dealing with a cunning and brutal mastermind.
