Chief Smallpaw, Chief of the Darkfell Clan
"When you underestimate your opponent, you've already lost." -Chief Smallpaw
Smallpaw was always an oddity compared to most gnolls. Though he was never a 'runt' of the litter when he was born, he simply never grew into the larger and more indomitable bodily form like the rest of his kin. Instead, Smallpaw grew into a more sleek and smaller form, putting him rather short compared to the rest of his clan. Though the 'rise' of these 'fox gnolls' would not be incredibly common for another 500 years (Everquest 2's time), Smallpaw demonstrated expertly that his size, at any point in his teen/adult life, was never ever a weakness. Rather, his size was a very strong strength. Many a foe have underestimate Smallpaw's size, and none of them have lived to tell the tale of encountering him. Deft of blade and fleet of foot, speed, agility, and dexterity are Smallpaw's hallmarks as the supreme hunter and tracker that he is.
Though he is hailed as a Chieftain of the clan, his authority and power doesn't quite match up with Glefy. In fact, Smallpaw dares not challenge the High Chieftain herself, for none would so brazenly and foolishly challenge a Spiritfang's right to rule and lead the clan. Thankfully, Smallpaw and Glefy have an understanding, and Glefy allows Smallpaw to oversee the hunting, gathering, and tracking efforts of the clan. Many a Direwind invasion and ambushes have been thwarted thanks to the keen eyes and senses of Smallpaw, buying the Darkfell much-needed time against their undead, unending foes.
Man I am VERY happy to have recently found my spark for creating new HeroForge models! Now that I'm finally back in the swing of things, expect a LOT more new content within the next month!

You're very welcome. It's an old MMO, around 20+ years old and where most of my OCs come from.
Do keep in mind that not every gnoll will be the same. Just like kobolds, for example. In traditional DnD they're more dragon-related. Where in WoW they're rat-like, and in Everquest they're more canine/mutt-related.
Just because something doesn't conform to 'the norm' or 'the majority' doesn't make it wrong.
