Unique Gnoll in High Hedge?

TheVerySpecialK · August 2015

In one of my recent BGEE games, I came across a unique Gnoll in High Hedge (had a name and everything). He was accompanying the group who stole Purdue's short sword, and was blue in color (which set him apart from the other Gnolls in his group). In addition, this Gnoll was also dealing some sort of elemental damage (lightning?). At the time, I didn't think much of it, but when I visited the same area with a different character I was unable to re-locate him.

Does anyone have more info on this Gnoll?

The only blue-circled Gnoll I can think of is Ingot, but he's actually in an area to the southwest of High Hedge.

Ingot is supposed to let you know that there is someone (Dynaheir) held captive at the Gnoll Stronghold, in case you haven't recruited Minsc. He complains about being banished because he wanted to kill and eat her. In fact, if she's in the party when you meet him, he'll turn hostile.

Now that I think of, there's also a group of Gnolls who are blue circle. Their leader will try to extort some gold out of you unless you beat him in a one-on-one duel. But they're also not on High Hedge.

I wouldn't know anything about lightning damage. Is there any chance it was raining and one of your characters was randomly struck by lightning?

Actually... I've just realized that what I was fighting was a Flind. For some reason I didn't see this at the time, but it must have randomly spawned right next to the Purdue group (which would explain why it wasn't there next time). And yes, a lightning strike would solve the mysterious elemental damage. Damn it! I was so sure I had faced off with some legendary Gnoll Sorcerer!
