Centuries of careful domestication with Plush Dragons allowed for gnoles to become friendly with Plush Dragons and work together as a team. Gnoles are nocturnal by nature, but sometimes their internal clocks are messed up from being underground for so long. They have no eyes, but can smell a pure gem from miles away and will dig with all their might to get to it! Their hardy front claws can dig through any rock or material known to man. Gnoles survive by eating gemstones and rocks that are part of their environment, so if your gnole came from the Sandy Dune or Aldermore, make sure you always keep some sandstone handy!
