PFS StandardHyaenodon

Hyaenodons are ferocious primeval creatures that resemble hyenas. Looming, shaggy-furred animals nearly the size of a horse, hyaenodons are truly formidable predators to be reckoned with, due both to their size and to their flesh-shearing jaws. Hyaenodons prey on small horses, camels, and even young rhinoceroses. Kholo clans find these creatures particularly useful as mounts and guardians.

Hyena

Source Monster Core pg. 205
Hyenas are pack-hunting scavengers known for their unnerving, laughter- like cries. The most well-known hyenas are the socially gregarious spotted hyenas, who travel in packs and work together to hunt or drive off larger creatures. Hyenas are typically nocturnal creatures who scavenge meat, insects, and fruit, though they aren't above supplementing their carrion diets with fresh prey.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Hyena Legends

The hyena's intense cunning, combined with its unnerving laughter, has caused hyenas to become associated with all manner of evil—hyenas are claimed to rob graves, steal children, and wield sinister supernatural powers. Though normal hyenas are no more malicious than any other natural predator, their unearned reputation often causes witches, warlords, and illnatured creatures to seek out hyenas as pets or guard animals. The fact that kholos in particular have a special preference for hyenas, considering the animals to be close relatives, does little to improve the animal's already-poor reputation.
