Ancestry Talents
| Gnoll Origin |
All Gnolls have a sort of pack mentality, such comradery being useful both in warbands and family life.
As long as you can see one person you consider your ally or a member of your family (such as a twin), you are both protected. When either of you roll a 1 or a critical failure on an attack roll, skill check, or saving throw, whomever didn't make the roll may a d20 in your/their favor. The new roll must be used.
Additionally, you gain proficiency with one weapon of your choice, having been taught to use it at an early age from a pack member or relative.
This Talent cannot be swapped.

Names
Gnoll names vary from plane to plane, but they are all bombastic and declarative of what the Gnoll believes in.
Animundi
Animundi Gnoll names depend on their personality. They are more like nicknames and are treated as such; often being verbs, adverbs, or full titles. For other cultures on the plane, a Gnoll's birth name and their established name remains consistent, being a merged form of the verbage used in their given names (ex. Heart-is-True vs Harastru. Flourish and Floris. Gnawbone and Gnabon, etc). Sometimes the names will be different entirely, leading to True Naming a Gnoll being difficult for the flexible Ancestry.
Golarion
Newborn kholo are given a Root name, much like a
True Name, typically that of a bone, plant, or animal (though never Hyena, as this is considered narcissistic and arrogant). As a gnoll reaches certain milestones in life, they add descriptors to their name. Root names are often passed down through families, while descriptors are chosen to fit the gnoll's personality, usually in raucous ceremonies.
