Notes

• There is a unique hyena in Act One at X: 9 Y: 522 with several improved abilities. It possesses the  Alert passive and has an additional +5 to initiative on Tactician, as well as 18 Wisdom.
  • This hyena dashes to alert nearby gnolls at X: -3 Y: 546 of the party's presence, and the boosts to initiative and Wisdom make it much more difficult to catch and restrain.
  • The total +11 bonus to Initiative is the single highest bonus on any character in the game.
