With rotting, matted fur, missing teeth, and baleful yellow eyes, they are easily mistaken for simple undead beasts. Their appearance belies a relentless cunning. \n'b'  Gifts from the God of Death . The method of creation of Emperor\xe2\x80\x99s hyenas was a gift given directly to the Ghoul Emperor and has been entrusted to only a few necrophages. Emperor\xe2\x80\x99s hyenas can be created only from hyenas that were anointed protectors of the god\xe2\x80\x99s holy places when they were alive. Their scarcity means they are primarily used as messengers and guardians for the emperor. The emperor rarely sends them to attack enemies unless the enemy has truly angered him. The emperor of the ghouls is seldom seen without a pair of emperor\xe2\x80\x99s hyenas by his side. When he moves publicly, every available emperor\xe2\x80\x99s hyena is deployed to ensure his safety. \n'b'  Voice of the Emperor . Emperor\xe2\x80\x99s hyenas act as messengers throughout the empire when the emperor needs to send a messenger hardier than a ghoul bat. Though the hyenas are incapable of speaking on their own, the emperor can whisper a message into the ear of an emperor\xe2\x80\x99s hyena, and the hyena can speak the message in the emperor\xe2\x80\x99s own voice.'
