'''Gnoll sergeant'''s are deadlier than the [[gnoll]]s they lead into combat, armed with better equipment ([[polearms]], [[shields]], and medium armour), more [[HP]], and often a [[potion of curing]]. Along with gnoll support, they are also often accompanied by [[hound]]s, [[war dog]]s, or [[gnoll shaman]]s. They can be found in the Dungeon on gnoll-themed floors.

Useful Info

Gnoll sergeants are tougher versions of regular gnolls, with more HP, more AC, and higher damage. They always spawn with a polearm and medium armour, and occasionally come with a shield. They appear in the early to mid-Dungeon, usually accompanied by regular gnolls.

Tips & Tricks

  • The gnoll equivalent to orc warriors, gnoll sergeants are simple melee threats. How strong they are can vary based on their equipment. A sergeant with a kite shield and a trident of venom is much stronger than a sergeant with just a spear.
    • Also, watch out for the equipment that other gnolls bring. A gnoll with a throwing net can make it very difficult to escape.
  • As they usually appear in a group, any spells or wands which target multiple tiles are useful.

History

  • Prior to 0.27, all monsters had hidden weapon penalties, so they attacked slower and weaker with any weapon. Gnoll sergeants were not nerfed between versions.
