The Hyena is an enemy in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. It is a sniper hyena werebeast armed with a musket.

Origins[]

Were-hyena is a neologism coined in analogy to werewolf for therianthropy involving hyenas. It is common in the folklore of the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and the Near East as well as some adjacent territories. Unlike werewolves and other therianthropes, which are usually portrayed as being originally human, some werehyena lore tells of how they can also be hyenas disguised as humans.

Description[]

The Hyena is a werebeast covered with brown fur and dressing in red robes that wields a musket. Its method of attack is very similar to that of the Skeleton Gunmen found in other games, although it does not take breaks to reload its weapon. It remains knelt down in place and periodically shoots a single bullet, telegraphing this attack by briefly turning red beforehand.

In narrow places where jumping is not possible, the bullet can be dodged by sliding underneath it with proper timing (hopefully also killing the Hyena with the kick that accompanies this move).

The Hyena drops the valuable Night Suit (although very rarely, at 0.5% drop rate), which raises STR +20, among other stat boosts.
