==Capabilities==
Users posses the traits, attributes, and/or abilities of, transform into, or be/is a Werehyena, a human or humanoid being with the ability to transform into a hyena or anthropomorphic hyena-like creature, either purposely rub a specific stick on yourself, as they are part of the lycanthrope affiliation and are also vampiric creatures.
The user gains the traits of hyenas, most obviously the ability to transform into a hyena, with natural characteristics inherent of both human and hyenas including enhanced stamina, agility etc. In addition, werehyenas are often attributed with a powerful bite force beyond men and have the natural digestive system of a hyena being able to eat anything in the wild.
Other than this, detains are considerably some are limited to a single form which ranges from completely animal to man-hyena (humanoid-hyena with fur, claws and fangs); some can shift between man, hyena-man (humanoid hyena) and pure hyena; while others are able to choose to what exent they want to change, including parts of their hyena form. Maybe completely natural hyena form, something resembling a spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) or even something directly from the darkest edges of human fear of hyenas. Although some hyena instincts are likely to influence werehyena in a transformed state, this varies from completely animal mind to perfectly aware human, even the stereotypical monster lusting for blood.
Although it is very completely linked to werehyenas, they aren't invulnerable, due to being magicians as they're vulnerable to silver.
