A werehyenea is a lycanthrope whose werebeast phenotype is based on the animal form of a hyena.
A werehyena can be discerned by the presence of another mouth at the base of the potential lycanthrope's neck or skull.[1]
Descriptive Text
"The jolly young man who led us out of the jungle insisted that we stay in his hut for the night. As we passed through the threshold, he pulled off the bandana he wore around his neck. It was then I noticed that there was a puckered scar on the back of his neck."
"Tis an interesting wound you have there," I muttered."
"Without turning around, he started his shrill tittering again. And it was then I saw the scar unpucker, revealing itself to be the young man's second mouth..."
-- from the journals of Jerome Delacroix, Mordentish adventurer[2]
