Hyena



= Hyena =

Hyenas are carnivorous creatures found on Earth and in Narnia. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe they are part of Jadis's Army. In a Hyena clan the females are dominant, which would appeal to the white witch.

Description
Hyenas have a large head with a long, thick, muscular neck and powerful jaws that give the hyena the strongest bite of any mammal. They are even able to crunch bones, making them a fearsome member of the white witch's army. Its front legs are longer than its back legs, giving the hyena a profile somewhat like that of a wildebeest or bison.

Film Appearance
In the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, a Hyena appears on the steps as Aslan heads to the Stone Table. Various hyenas can also be seen in the crowd and one starts to bite Aslan's foot.
