In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting and the default pantheon of deities for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Erythnul is the Oeridian god of Hate, Envy, Malice, Panic, Ugliness, and Slaughter. He is known as the Many, and is worshipped by many gnoll, troll, ogre, and bugbear tribes, in addition to humans.
"The god of slaughter, Erythnul (eh-rith-null), is chaotic evil. His title is the Many, Erythnul delights in panic and slaughter. In civilized land, his followers (including evil fighters, barbarians and rogues) form small, criminal cults. In savage lands, evil barbarians, gnolls, bugbears, ogres and trolls commonly worship him. The domain he is associated with is chaos, evil, trickery and war." - Players handbook, 3rd edition
