This is a character I'm currently playing in a 5e DnD campaign. Gerhardt (pronounced GAIR-hardt) is a gnoll who never knew his parents/pack, growing up alone in a swamp populated by lizardfolk clans. Gerhardt survived by hunting/foraging and trading his services to the lizardfolk for basic needs when need be, and that survival was all he knew in life, really. He got his scars (including the one exposing his teeth) from a jungle cat which attacked him while he slept on one occasion, and he harbors a fear of cats as a result.

Gerhardt is an imposing creature, 7'4" (hunched over) and rippling with muscle. He is, however, an incredibly cautious, even cowardly, character. He expects prejudice everywhere he goes, and would rather run than fight in most cases. He can be blunt and oblivious at times, and has no qualms about pounding prey or enemies to mush with his flail, though he's a pretty gentle soul at heart. He knows a ridiculous number of languages (7 including common), though he speaks haltingly with broken grammar when he speaks at all.

He's sorta a sadboi lol, but I hope for him to come out of his shell somewhat during the campaign.

His clothes in this pic are already obsolete too lol, he gained some new armor and bracers since I started it. Oh well, maybe I'll do an update sometime.

I actually had to reduce the quality of this pic to get it on this site, the original file is MASSIVE lol. I'm not sure exactly what was lost in the size reduction (I did crop away some of the scenery to the right side of the pic), but if you want to see the original it's up on my DeviantArt here: https://www.deviantart.com/davian71.....0%3A1598398707
