These horse sized hyena relatives are seen as an omen of death. Both as a cruel curse or as a friendly guide into the afterlife, depending on who you talk to. They stalk the weary and injured in deserts and plains. Waiting for its quarry to finally collapse. Their size and long forelimbs help them to scan thier wide open territories. But they also make them slow moving and ungainly so they make for poor hunters. They avoid injury as much as possible but if food is scarce and their cubs need feeding they might hurry their prey along into the afterlife.

Yay its done! I was trying a different technique for this so it was a bit of a learning process.
Mostly based on brown hyena's with a bit of vulture for the mostly hairless head.
