 '''Gnolls''' are brutish monsters found early in the game. They are usually found in groups and often wield dangerous weapons, particularly [[polearm]]s.

 *In [[0.27]], the hidden weapon penalties for monsters were removed, so all monsters now attack faster and hit harder with weapons. To compensate, gnolls' base damage was nerfed (9 -> 6). Also, the famed D:1 [[halberd]] gnoll was removed - they can only spawn with halberds from D:2 onwards.

 *Divide and conquer. Gnolls are typically asleep in packs when you first meet them. Don't let them all see you at once, or you'll have to fight all of them at once, or one after the other. Both ways are dangerous. Lure them away one at a time.
-*Using a corridor tactic with a gnoll pack can be dangerous as some spawn with polearms. Stair dancing is safe, however, though you may have difficulty luring the polearm-wielding ones up the stairs.
