| Yeenoghu is hardly "another demon" in my book. He's been around for 30 years! ;) |

| He's been around for thousands of years in the realms, I prefer to keep him that way; in the background. I am tired of demons in all shapes and forms, therefore a gnoll as they are presented would be nice. |

| Well, I am just too big a fan of Planar beings, I suppose. I'd probably use him as the patron for some tribes, and maybe have some shamans/clerics of him as the 'elders.' Maybe some fiendish hyenadons, though... |

| I agree on that use, but as with gods; I prefer greater demons to stay far in the background. As you may have guessed I am no fan of the Planescape connection. Shamans and religious doctrine can both cause trouble and flesh out the gnolls on their own. Common hyenadons have so little mention that common hyenadons would still be a new element to a story. |

| Actually i like the introduction of greater demons as long as no one gets crazy enough to want to challenge them directly, it adds flavour to the realms |

| Heh, I guess I've always used Hyenadons in my own Gnoll-based ideas (I'm a big fan of Megafauna!), so to me, Fiendish is ACTUALLY Fiendish and different. :) |
