The terrain would probably a snowy forest, near a mountain, a swamp, something like that, and I need some advice on tribes of creatures that can be suitable foes for my Gnoll(named Jolf). Preferably the monsters will be intelligent, since, as you know, gnolls love the way intelligent creatures scream :D Thanks in advance.

Heh, well, if anyone has any other advice, they`d be most welcome.

Most of the monsters in snowy areas are going to have high natural armor, so good luck trying to find a soft touch hide.
