Gratchscarth is rather less than you expect the average Gnoll warrior or raider to be.  Indeed he wears the almost stereotypical scale mail his kin seem to favour - if you believe those weakling humans.  However that's where where things deviate.  He is somewhat shorter and of slightler build and one imagines if he bothered to stand straight he might reach 7ft yet he continuously slouches, not unlike a chastised dog shrinks to appear smaller.

This trend of aberrations doesn't end there for he is possessed of a face twisted and contorted, a face that even a mother would have difficulty loving -  being more akin to a Chihuahua than fierce Gnoll heritage.  Several scars of varying size and age help some way in providing relief from his almost comic countenance.


Continuing onto his fur, well what can one say about the hodge podge of once white irregularly shaped tufts on a fairly standard red tan base fur.  Perhaps that it resembles some hideous 60's shag-pile carpet.  Curiously a ring of fur around his neck has worn away, replaced with hard calloused mange afflicted skin.

His movement is more a hop and shuffle than the fluid run his kin are known for, though he seems to easily keep pace and move quietly if called for.

Those who have bothered to linger in his company for more than an hour would notice sporadic episodes of what appears to be confusion or bedazzlement - maybe even calm - counterbalanced with be-spittled fits of snarling and trembling.

In a polite society the term "Runt of the litter" might be offered, whilst others in more forthright culture would say  "The one that should have been left in the winter wastes".

And this perhaps is why his calling is to serve the all mighty and not to be crossed Yeenoghu rather than the path of a ferocious Gnoll warrior or raider.  The opportunity to wield the strength of the master demon god such that you can look down upon those that once held him in contempt.

Stroking his flail, which he oft mutters to, and thumbing the various carefully preserved and adorned small body parts on his necklaces, like a rosary, are two activities which seem to provide comfort.  Apart from a few trinkets he travels light.
