Gnarlpaw the Black is a gnoll cleric of Lamashtu in the city of Katapesh. He is one of only two gnolls in the city with black fur.

Gnarlpaw is associated with a band of slavers that use the qanat below Katapesh. However, he keeps his service in a cult of Lamashtu a secret from them. As part of his worship, he leads an evil, depraved service every four months. In this orgy, a victim is eaten, bones and all. He has recently abducted Ezler Palmatorian for the next service.

He has converted an abandoned monastery into a museum as cover for his real activities. He has well-made fake statuettes, fetishes, shrunken heads, and so on. He is not concerned about them being recognized as fakes—this gives him the reputation as a greedy charlatan, which lessens attention on his crueler activities.
