Attack Potency: At least Human level to Athlete level (Weaker than spotted hyenas but stronger than eurasian wolves and generally dominate them in one-on-one situations.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striped_hyena#Relationships_with_other_predators Able to usually win in one-to-one disputes over carcasses with leopards, cheetahs, and juvenile tigers, although these disputes rarely result in a direct confrontation. Historically, they were the most used species in Hyena-baiting, and were often pitted against large dogs. Although smaller populations in Africa and Middle East are mainly scavengers, larger populations found in Central Asia, Anatolia, and the Indian subcontinent are able to hunt and kill large prey on their own, such as wild boars, kulans, and also livestock like sheep and goats.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striped_hyena#Diethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striped_hyena#Predation_on_livestock_and_crops A lone hyena managed to physically contend against two kangal dogs simultaneouslyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4iREpdjWX0), higher via piercing damage (Can bite with a force of 800 psihttps://animalia.bio/striped-hyenahttps://a-z-animals.com/blog/what-is-the-bite-force-of-a-hyena/https://leozoo.org/hyena-bite-force/.

Intelligence: High Animalistic (Although less intelligent than its relative, the Spotted Hyena, Striped Hyenas are still remarkably intelligent animals; They have been observed using logs or rocks as platforms to access food or to survey their surroundings, display a good memory for locating food sources and remembering the location of their dens or shelter sites, and are capable of learning and recognizing complex social relarionships within their family groups. Able to even cooperate with different species like wolves.https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/hyena-wolves-hunting-20032016/ Can be easily tamed by humans, and potentially if they are raised with a firm hand, they may eventually become affectionate and as amenable as well-trained dogs, and can even form bonds with dogs in captivityhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striped_hyena#Tameability)
