A fantasy creature resembling a hyena, with bone-white horns and glowing red eyes, stands on its hind legs in a savanna landscape, with zebras and gazelles in the background.

Okay so basically, it looks a lot like a hyena, dark grey and black fur with some spots, red eyes, and slightly fluffy(but sometimes rough) fur. and they are called Banehounds. Banehounds have horns, tan/bone white colored horns that are usually sometimes ragged/sharp, especially at the tips. Male Banehounds have slightly longer and sharper horns than females. Banehounds have sharp but small claws on all their paws, and they have short, slightly bushy tails the same color as their fur. They usually live in groups and hunt in small groups. They have sharp teeth and usually hunt zebras, gazelles, and smaller animals. They also have a special ability that, if they feel threatened or wish to show dominance or intimidate others, they can stand on their hind legs. Banehounds are often aggressive towards humans, especially if they are defending their young. Female Banehounds typically give birth to 2-5 cubs. after giving birth, a female will become weak and will need a lot of rest, so a female will stay in their habitat and be protected by other female Banehounds. cubs typically grow their horns at 1-2 months old, which start off small and smooth and not sharp. cubs learn how to hunt early on, typically 7-9 months old cubs already know how to hunt small animals. The females are very important in the pack, they raise the cubs and assist in hunts. the males are fiercely protective of the female banehounds. if a male and female Banehound want to mate, a male Banehounds has to fight See more
