The Variants

Striped: Fast Talk, +1 Cha +1 Dex +1 Str. City and town dwellers, they're valued more on their ability to work and survive on their own as a kind of looked-down-upon race.
Fast Talk: The gnoll character receives an advantage to a persuade or deceive check if they have a short rest's worth of preparation of an argument or lie beforehand for that check.

Spotted (Most similar to DnD Beyond): Rampage, Bite Proficiency, +2 Str +1 Dex. They're badlands nomads and hunters. They hew closely to the Beyond homebrew for them.
Rampage: When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn, you may use a bonus action to move up to half your speed and make a bite attack.
Their stats, racial feats, and make-up along with the description for Rampage come from here

Griot: Oral Tradition, +1 Int, +1 Dex, +1 Wis. These are historians, craftsmen, and bards that do not live in the same hunting lifestyle as the spotted but do not live in the city conditions of the striped.
Oral Tradition: You have proficiency in History checks.

Here is the lore behind these
