Gasterclaw is a Gnoll brute, cursed by the black dragon Darkblaze to be no larger than a rat. Despite his miniscule stature, Gasterclaw maintains his viciousness and relative strength, making him an excellent asset in winning Aemon money through pet battles.

Appearance[]

Gasterclaw was once the largest and nastiest gnolls, made stronger by his privileged position in the food chain. As a brute, or alpha, he are was cream of gnoll society, once standing over eight feet in height. The shrinking curse has rendered him to the size of a rodent, yet he has still maintained his lean and powerful build. The gnoll has a blunt snout and large yellow teeth. Tiny scraps of armor cover his thick, yellow-green fur, perhaps constructed from old cans of some kind, and he holds a tiny, yet wicked looking flail in one hand.

Personality[]

Despite his size, Gasterclaw expects deference from those around him and has no concept of fear. During his chiefdom, he always took the pick of the food and loot and left the rest behind for others to fight over. The idea of subtlety is lost on a this brute. Gasterclaw will charge into combat with the nearest opponent and pound away until it falls down. He holds no notion of single combat or honor and will generally team up and surround a single foe until it is dead.

History[]

Gaster

Prior to Yowler, the mighty Gasterclaw was the undisputed leader of the Gnollish Redridge Clan. Gasterclaw was immense and brawny, and used his brute force to lead raids deep into human territory. Naturally, the Black Dragon Darkblaze saw an ally in the brute while plotting the destruction of Lakeshire. Diplomacy, however, was not a matter of concern to the beast, who saw fit to immediately charge into combat against the dark wizard. Darkblaze quickly cast a shrinking curse on the gnoll, rendering him virtually harmless, after which he was sent to Nefarion as a gift.

Gasterclaw was both kept a for pit-fighting in Blackwing Descent. Although, the tiny gnoll was designated to fight small animals and such by Nefarion, who happened to be an aspiring Pet-Battler in his free time. Aemon snatched Gasterclaw from his cage during a raid from the Black Dragon's lair. Since then, the warrior has kept him around for pet battling, and perhaps to fetch things from small places if circumstance demands.
