Hyena Creature

The Hyenas are genetically engineered monsters. Envisioned by Dr. Zoill, the research was continued after his death by Moss Briskit.

It is implied that the reason for the research is to figure out which elements of the two genomes (human and hyena) are compatible, probably because they're trying to adapt humans for life on worlds that have previously been considered uninhabitable. Zoill and then Moss were testing the genetic manipulations on hyenas before applying these changes to humans.

The creatures are not humanoid, but are bipedal, with glowing red eyes. Their saliva is poisonous to some species.
