Traits

Pack Tactics. The Arctic hyena has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the Arctic hyena's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) piercing damage.

Frost Fangs. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) cold damage.

Reactions

Frosted Frenzy. Reaction: When in a group of 2 or more, Arctic hyenas have a strong bond. As such, if one of them is killed, they with solely focus on the killer of their kin until the attacker is dead, or another Arctic hyena falls, where they will shift their focus towards whomever killed their kin most recently.

Description

Far larger than their grassland-dwelling cousins, Arctic hyenas are far more deadly of a force to be reckoned with. They often travel in packs of about five, not including their pups. These hyenas also have thicker, coarser fur, a tougher hide, sharper claws, and a far more powerful bite force than their smaller relatives. They are extremely well equipped to handle the cold, harsh environment they live in.

Curiously, these hyenas are also far more intelligent than their smaller relatives. This has allowed them to harness some minor magic, allowing them to imbue their fangs with cold magic, which lets them deal cold damage in addition to their normal piercing damage. These creatures are truly a force to be reckoned with, and may the gods help you if you see one of their bloated corpses whilst traveling.
