New adventurers should be wary of them, since they can hit for much harder than most enemies at a comparable depth. Sometimes they carry [[throwing net]]s to pin you in place.

	*Divide and conquer. Gnolls are typically asleep in packs when you first meet them. Don't let them all see you at once, or you'll have to fight all of them at once, or one after the other.

	*Struggling free from nets might not be something you have time for. You can quickly free yourself from nets by [[blink]]ing or teleporting away.
