Description
Hyena is a survivor. She hunts in packs at night but will scavenge and steal if necessary to survive. She fills the air with a sinister cackle and few would willingly confront her. Although scruffy, she is social and a diligent parent. Even mighty Lion is loathe to face her!
Traits
Hyena has the most powerful jaws, snapping a horse's femur with one well placed bite, splintering and devouring bone! (Her packs add +1 to all Bite attack damage). She teaches them to survive (they add +2 to all Survival Dice Pools).Foes tremble and run at her sinister laugh (her packs can call upon the gift: Hyena's Cackle. treat as the Lvl3 fianna gift 'howl of the banshee', but it takes the form of a terrible cackle.)
Due to her undeserved reputation, all tribes (except the Bone Gnawers) lose 1 point of Honour whenever they gain Honour.
Bans
Hyena makes no demands of her chosen.
