- What are Mana Geared Hyenas?
Mana Geared Hyena's resemble our modern day spotted hyenas, with the unique ability to conjure up magic in specially crafted gears sealed with power. These powers have a wide range of ability, from more productive conjuring of natural elements (I.E, water, earth, air, healing, plant growth) to destructive, dark or devastating (I.E, fire, poison, necromancy, dark arts, etc). They are born bearing these ancient gears, and their mana seems to be based upon personality and life path. Hyenas who have removed their gears, or have had them forcibly removed due to misuse because they have caused great harm, are considered outcasts and normally shunned by gear bearing hyenas. Hyenas who have had their gears removed become considerably weaker over time and seem to live half as long as their gear bearing family.
They range from 2 – 3.5 ft tall, and their weight varies at 90 – 150 lbs. MGH's diet varies from fish to meat, and they have also been known to scavenge berries, fruits or vegetables when available. Mana Geared Hyenas are excellent hunters and fishers, especially in numbers, and can easily take down and consume large amounts of prey.
These hyenas are known for travelling and living in large family groups, and are very protective of their young and raise them in a family unit until they reach full maturity. MGH can reproduce with any combination of gender. Despite their strong family roots and bond, lone hyenas or lower pack numbers of 2-4 aren't uncommon.
They communicate with each other just like modern day hyenas, by their famous manic "laughing" and "giggles". Although the language is odd, it's very complex and allows for a huge range of communication with one another, and their voice can be heard from up to 8 miles away allowing for a tight line to call back and forth.
