Traits
Keen Hearing and Smell. The werehyena has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Shapechanger. The werehyena can use its action to polymorph into a hyena-gnoll hybrid or into a hyena, or back into its true gnoll form. Its statistics, other than AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
