Rare Wild Hunting Mob: Dastardly Hyena

The Hyena <Dastardly> is a rare wild animal you can hunt with a matchlock. It can be found in North Eastern Valencia, just west of Ancado Inner Harbor. Ancado is the small harbor town north of Valencia City.

Rare hunting mobs are difficult to find, but drop an unusual amount of loot from butchering them. Respawn is randomly between 12 and 24 hours.

Dastardly Hyena Lore & Mechanics

Hyenas usually inhabit dry regions, although some have been known to be bred in Calpheon by Giants. They have a powerful bite, and often move in clans led by an alpha. Hyenas exiled from their clan are unable to hunt wild prey, and are instead notoriously known for preying on the horses of merchant guilds traveling along the desert trail. Their terrifying gaze never fails to strike fear into the hearts of these desert traders.

Behr Gossip:

Hyena: Merchants passing from the north of Valencia desert were attacked by hyenas. Their goods and gold were damaged. It is surprising the merchants with backpacks were not harmed.

Mechanics:

Dastardly Hyena only appears when you pass his spawn locations while riding a mount. He chases after spawning for a short distance, then pounces. After pouncing, he will slowly circle you. To avoid damage, roll when he pounces and shoot when he circles.
