Sneaky Darklord with a spindly, skeletal body, bird-like legs and a
brain-like
head with fly's eyes. Armed with a trident/pole-arm. Usually coloured in shades of green, blue and purple.
Gnaag becomes leader of the Darklords (the fourth and last) after the
death of Haakon, by means of manipulation and intrigue. He then began a clever strategy to take over Magnamund, which almost succeeds. He is the "boss
monster" at the end of Lone
Wolf 12: The Masters of Darkness, the last in the original series of Lone Wolf gamebooks. If the book goes according to plan, Gnaag is slain and the Darklords are destroyed.
Gnaag is also the nominal ruler of Mozgoar, although apparently resident at Helgedad.
His predecessors as
leader were Vashna, Zagarna and Haakon. The deaths of these rulers and the exile of Slutar
left only
fifteen other Darklords subordinate to Gnaag.
