Popped a faction lock potion, went into the caves and killed this guy about 40 times (seems any roaming bear cub can spawn him) and he never dropped the gnoll paw mentioned in Corun Finisc's Gnoll Paws quest. Seems like a broken/missing item or very very rare.
PS - If the ph is a normal paced bear cub the skulking gnoll roams at a normal pace. If the bear cub that spawns him is the super speedy one, the skulking gnoll will also be super speedy

Bren Treeclimber will attack and kill this gnoll if they happen to cross paths, which partly explains why it isn't seen very often.

The bear cub that goes zipping around at high speed through the cave is the placeholder. I made the skulking gnoll spawn six times yesterday by killing the running bear cub then waiting for the gnoll to pop on track. It never failed. The paw never dropped, though. Not sure what the actual drop rate is but I can tell you that it is worse than 1 in 6 tries for sure.

This the bear cub you are referring to as the PH?

Killing that bear cub caused the skulking gnoll to spawn for me,
His speed may give a clue

There is a bear that runs really fast inside the bear cave. If this gnoll runs really fast, then you may have to kill the fast moving bear to get him to spawn.

Gnoll Paw Quest

This guy is part of the Gnoll Paw quest that Corun Finisc gives out. However, I've spent hours in the caves, and never seen the skulking gnoll. Has anyone seen him lately? I suspect he may have been pulled from the game, or is so rare that this quest is a waste of time.
Basic info

No quest associated with this guy as far as I can tell. He is basically a gnoll pup with a different name, same warcry, faction hits, and same ease of killing. This is NOT the "Gnoll Poacher" which spawns here and is mentioned by one of the ranger guildmasters. He paths approximately the same as "a poacher." Loot the three times I killed him was a cloth cap the first two times, nothing the third.

Addition from edit: This guy moves fast. I didn't include that info in my original submission because I thought it was a bug, but repeated kills and pursuits has lead me to the conclusion that it's programmed. He moves at least at SoW speed, possibly faster. It's possible to catch up with him because he stops for turns, but otherwise it would be difficult. Easiest to just hit him with an arrow rather than try to line up for a melee swing. Loot continues to be ordinary cloth caps.
