**Benny and Sully** are deuteragonists in the feature film, Robin Hood and in the Black Lion franchise. They are a pair of hyenas who serve as the pets, bodyguards and lifelong best friends of King Xavier. After their mother's death, Benny and Sully were taken out of the jungle by Andrés when their father was unable to take care of them. Since their arrival, they've been happily living in royalty with their best friend and the other servants of the castle.

## Background

Benny and Sully were given to Xavier by his parents for his birthday and since his birth, they been his closest companions for years.

### Personality

#### Benny

Benny is Sully's older and maturer brother. Despite having a slender appearance, Benny is the most strongest and reliable hyena to his owner, Xavier. Benny is otherwise kind and sweet to his friends and he has a strong brotherly bond with Sully and he loves to hang out with him. Benny has a strong hatred of Luther's hyenas, Bud and Lou and he's aware of them.

Benny is shown to have a dry sense of humor whether he's joking, being sarcastic, or acting clumsy. Benny is willing to sacrifice his life just for his friends and family.

#### Sully

Sully is Benny's younger brother and best friend. He's mostly dim-witted and clumsy. He is shown to be mostly brave and tough and he's not kind to people who try to harm his family or friends. He's the only hyena, who has a violent temper towards villains and he's always tries to solve the problem the violent way (before someone has a more better plan than violence). He's also very outgoing and optimistic but he is serious during situations.

Just like his older brother, Sully is willing to make sacrifices for his friends and families. He is also has a large appetite (which would explain his large build). The foods he mainly eats is meat, since he is a carnivore.
