He seems to be part of one of the many Quillmane spawn cycles and spawned at the very western border westwards of Splitpaw. He is very rare but not part of the hunter achievement. I had seen Quillmane more often than this NPC.
He spawned in a 66 sec cycle after alot of these mobs which are identical with one of the Quillmane cycles:
a lion a lioness a mist wolf a shadow wolf an elephant an escaped Splitpaw gnoll
All mobs in this cycle have their spawn points between the western zone border and "Splitpaw/Infected Paw" from far north to far south.
Roughly like the yellow area in this map: http://everquest.fanra.info/images/0/04/Southkarananames.jpg
Is there a known method for spawning Gnawfang? I would like to test this theory about Gnawfang being a trigger spawn for Quillmane. I've been hanging out in SK for many years now. I have only seen Gnawfang once, and right after I killed him, Quillmane did, in fact, spawn.
killed him when i was a lvl 25 Beastlord. conned green, killed him because he was a named i have never seen before and i was killing lions for baking.. dropped the tooth.
saw him running north at splitpaw when me and my friends were kiting gnolls.
dunno about quilmane spawn but i hate jOO rangers who track Quill all the damn time. Yes it is very annoying fer the classes who can't track. Anyways i was running to RM Gnawboi was right on me. I turned hit him 5 times crit fer 66 and 4 hits fer 35ish he dropped and along with the tooth no idea what it was for. just destoryed it
Killed him today, he gave me exp at 23, con'd green, droped an HQ cat pelt and his tooth, have no idea what its for. The gypsies in lake rathe priced it at 2pp and a few sp, will hold onto it and wait to see of someone finds a quest for it

Perhaps he has a chance of spawning Quillmane, but I kind of get the feeling that alot of these named mobs are all sort on the same spawn cycle...sort of PHs for each other, if such a thing exists. I killed Gnawfang today, no Quillmane, but a barb named Malik Barebutt or something turned up, he dropped a decent necklace...Beartooth Necklace 3sta 10hps all/all...whoopty doo...but no, definitely no Quillmane from either kill =(
exploiter they are right Gnawfang is a named Lion in SK I have his pelt also and was told...not really sure though... that his pelt is a ?quest? that is supposed to make a weight reducing 6 slot bag I will post if I manage to actually get one
Just killed him also. Have no idea what his tooth is for. Would love to know. He was a good fight and i am a 18th level Paladin on Seventh Hammer. Name is Kyboc if you get knews
