Hyenas are a type of Beast and non-playable race who can be found travelling with gnolls and the Cult of the Absolute.

About

Of all the subspecies of hyena, only the spotted ones emit that strange cackling giggle that raises the hairs on the neck of a savannah hunter.

Hyenas are pack hunters and scavengers, who will often serve as hunting companions or pets to gnolls. The corpsed wombs of hyenas also regularly serve as the birthing place for new gnolls.

They can be found near a wrecked caravan on the The Risen Road during Act One, and with members of the Cult of the Absolute in the Shadow-Cursed Lands during Act Two.

A Bloated Hyena, stuffed with the spoils of fresh slaughter, will violently erupt and give birth to a Newborn Gnoll if not killed first.
