Gnoll, Witherling

These appear to be what's known as Gnoll Witherlings. They are a form of undead that spawn when certain Gnolls are killed by their own kin. However, Riga knows one thing: to raise Witherlings, there needs to be at least one powerful Gnoll amongst the pack, a leader or shaman of some sort, or an external daemonologist (which is rare, but some Gnolls will allow followers of Yeenoghu amongst them, and Riga has just witnessed a case of Gnolls working with other humanoids).

Witherlings don't eat and feel no hunger, so they are seen as a good way to bolster Gnoll forces without any of the cost that upkeeping a pack comes with.
