==History==
===World of Warcraft===
Due to their coordinated attacks, they posed a threat to the Horde's Camp Mojache as they began spreading and became more savageWar on the Woodpaw very likely because of the Zukk'ash silithid,Zukk'ash Infestation (Classic) who they also fought against.Woodpaw InvestigationThe Battle Plans When Raschal the Courier was in the Feralas forests, he ran into the Woodpaw gnolls.Psychometric Reading They took his backpacks,The Woodpaw Gnolls and they also got hold of Raschal's undelivered parcel.Thalanaar Delivery
Hadoken Swiftstrider asked Horde adventurers to take down the alphas of the Woodpaws, hoping it would cause chaos in their ranks and send a message that the Horde can and would destroy them.
===Cataclysm===
After the Cataclysm, the Alliance entered their lands and built a camp there.Adella's Covert Camp The first of Shandris's direct orders in the area was to deal with the gnolls. They've been spreading too far, too fast, and were becoming a threat to both the forest and the Sentinels' war effort. After taking the camp, the Sentinels have been leading covert strikes against them.War on the Woodpaw (Alliance)
To Hadoken's disbelief, the brutish gnolls have proven resilient, and he had to drive them back time after time from the camp. It was only his chieftain's mercy that prevented them from being wiped out entirely. Both he and Adella asked adventurers to once again strike at the alphasAlpha Strike (Alliance) and thin their numbers.
There's a camp deep in the Lower Wilds, but it was destroyed, and its Woodpaw inhabitants killed, by the Razza.
===Traveler===
At some point after the Cataclysm, the Woodpaw gnolls drove Hackle away because he was too small to be a brute. After that, he was captured by the Gordunni ogres and brought to Dire Maul to fight as a gladiator.Traveler It's also implied that the gnolls were being enslaved before that.Traveler: The Spiral Path: Marjuk look for new slaves. Look for gnolls. Look for yetis. Find gnolls before. Find yetis before. The Woodpaw were driven east to the area near the Thousand Needles border by the Gordunni, who cut down the trees and drove out their hyenas and game in their old territory.Traveler: The Spiral Path, pg. 40 There, they set up a new Woodpaw village.Traveler: The Spiral Path, chapter 10 The ogres' actions also drove the Woodpaw into conflict with the Feral Scar yetis, who had also been driven east by the deforestation. The conflicts resulted in the deaths of their two previous matriarchs and brutes. As such, they no longer have a matriarch to lead them, so Jaggal the brute proclaimed himself to decide for the Woodpaw. He hopes that his daughter Sivet would become the new matriarch.Traveler: The Spiral Path, chapter 6
Eventually, the yetis allied with the gnolls to battle the ogres together. To celebrate the new alliance made possible by Aram and his group, the Woodpaw village hosted a feast for them.Traveler: The Spiral Path, pg. 94 - 96
The Woodpaw clan responded to Makasa Flintwill's letters asking them to assist in Aram's rescue from the Hidden citadel in Hellfire Peninsula on Outland. After Feral Scar secured pirate ships, Jaggal, Sivet, and other gnolls and the yetis were transported into the Eastern Kingdoms and reunited with their friends in the Dark Portal valley in the Blasted Lands. After entering Hellfire Peninsula, a few of their fastest gnolls were chosen to scout ahead to Falcon Watch. Upon marching the army, the yetis and gnolls fought together in front of the citadel against the Burning Legion demons. Ultimately, the Azerothian army was triumphant, defeating the majority of enemies. The Woodpaws and Feral Scars then returned home.Traveler: The Shining Blade
===Exploring Azeroth===
After the Fourth War, they were raiding Camp Mojache and Camp Ataya, both of which needed help. As a response, the Horde Council sent Belgrom Rockmaul to answer their calls for help. Belgrom reported that adventurers had aided him in thinning the enemy forces, but it wasn't enough.World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: Kalimdor, pg. 92 According to Zekhan's report, there is a tug-of-war between gnolls, yetis, silithid, and Horde going on in Feralas.World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: Kalimdor, pg. 96
