The shade gnoll NPC of the fourth floor Carl was forced to kill a dozen times over.
Growler Gary surfaces in Carl's memory the moment two hyena-headed guards drop into the Security Checkpoint. They are the same type of creature — Shade Gnolls — as poor Growler Gary, the NPC Carl was forced to kill a dozen times over on the fourth floor. Carl still calls him poor when he thinks of him, and the comparison cuts both ways: the guards in front of him are real, free, armed professionals of the Shade Gnoll Riot Forces, while Gary was something the dungeon respawned to be killed again.
A hyena-headed shade gnoll NPC, remembered rather than seen here; nothing of his dress or bearing is described in this chapter.
A remembered fourth-floor NPC whose repeated deaths give the sight of genuine shade gnolls its weight.
