This name generator will provide 10 random names suitable for Gnolls and similar hyena-like or savage humanoid creatures.

Gnolls, first popularized in Dungeons & Dragons, have appeared in many games and fictional works. They typically resemble humanoid hyenas or other canids and are often depicted as crude and barbaric in nature. In games, they frequently serve as early-level threats, usually too weak to challenge more experienced adventurers.

Gnoll names tend to be as unrefined as the creatures themselves, though variations exist across different fictional settings. Generally, their names have a guttural sound, often incorporating elements that mimic growls or other noises a hyena-like creature might make. This generator focuses on these types of names, with some other influences as well. Surnames, when used, often follow a typical fantasy style found in many games and stories, such as 'Blacktooth', 'Bloodsnout', or 'Mudeye'. The Male, Female, and Neutral first names are based on common phonetic distinctions, but given that gnolls generally don't speak conventional languages, any generated name could potentially suit any gnoll character.
