Never underestimate the worldbuilding power of things like:
• Demi-planes
• Pocket Dimensions
• Etc
They give you a chance to get really weird with stuff.
And to do so without completely breaking the accepted norms.

There's a small Gnoll variant I use sometimes. I call them Yaplings.
I start with regular Gnoll stats, but then:
• Change their size to small.
• Swap Rampage for Pack Tactics.
• Give them proficiency in stealth.
Like chihuahuas. They're a lot of fun in little packages.
