The werehyena has advantage on  Wisdom  ( Perception ) checks that rely on hearing or smell. \n'b'  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\xe2\x80\x99t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. \n'b'  Actions \n'b'   Multiattack (Gnoll or Hybrid Form Only) . The werehyena makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws or scimitar. \n'b'  Bite (Hyena or Hybrid Form Only) .  Melee Weapon Attack : +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Those who suffer the curse of lycanthropy also exhibit it in the same way: the form of a werehyena. This is considered a rare and wonderful gift, as most gnolls who suffer this curse die the first time they change. Those who survive, however, are honored in their culture. \n'b'  A Demonic Affliction . In truth, the lycanthropy that werehyenas suffer is a demonic possession. \n'b' The souls of these creatures have been forfeited to a demon lord. Only gnolls are able to survive this intact. If they spread this disease to a non-gnoll, the victim survives until the first full moon, after which it dies and turns into a demon gnoll under the demon lord\xe2\x80\x99s sway. The only way to save the victim is to cure the disease before the first transformation. \n'b'  A Terrible Cure . Normally a  remove curse  removes lycanthropy from a victim, but slightly more stringent efforts are needed to cleanse a werehyena\xe2\x80\x99s bite. While the  remove curse  spell is being cast, a demonic creature must be killed in the vicinity of the victim, and the victim must drink the demon\xe2\x80\x99s ichor. Only then is the lycanthropy removed permanently. \n'b' Finding such a creature can be difficult and often means making deals with dark forces.'
