Editing Hyena (section)

==Description==
The Hyena was noted to have scrawny fore and hind limbs, narrow enough to make out the bones and tendons, gaps where the flesh sucked in around the ribcage, dangling, twisted, knotted genitals, and the broken, splintered claws on each foot that would tear like the uneven end of a broken bottle and teeth that were every bit as broken and disgusting as the claws.<ref>I saw its limbs.  Scrawny fore and hind limbs, narrow enough for me to make out the bones and tendons.  I could see gaps where the flesh sucked in around the ribcage, its dangling, twisted, knotted genitals, and the broken, splintered claws on each foot.<br>
For all that it was gaunt and broken, it was more scary, not less.  Those claws wouldn’t cut me like a scalpel.  They’d tear me like the uneven end of a broken bottle. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/category/story/arc-4-collateral/4-11/ Excerpt] from [[Collateral 4.11]]</ref>

It had two red eyes, and everything fit together wrong, like a humanoid thing that had once walked on two legs and then been twisted and wrenched into a four-legged shape, everything torn apart and rearranged and regrown.<ref>Seeing it more clearly, where I could make out any feature, I could see that it didn’t resemble a hyena.  It didn’t resemble a wolf, either.  Everything fit together wrong.  Proportions were off, if even, muscles overlapped in odd ways.  This was not a creature crafted by years of evolution.  It had been made wrong, more like a humanoid thing that had once walked on two legs and then been twisted and wrenched into a four-legged shape, everything torn apart and rearranged and regrown until it was ''this''. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/category/story/arc-4-collateral/4-11/ Excerpt] from [[Collateral 4.11]]</ref>

In sword form it was ornate, with an ugly face of the Hyena’s head in profile, a ragged claw at the pommel, and the blade itself was uneven, with terrible weight. The grip had spikes sticking out from it, so anyone who held it would gouge their palms and fingers.<ref>The thing was ornate, but in a very odd, unpleasant way.  An ugly face of the Hyena’s head in profile, a ragged claw at the pommel, and the blade itself was uneven, with terrible weight.  I didn’t miss the fact that the grip had spikes sticking out from it, so anyone who held it would gouge their palms and fingers. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/collateral-4-12/ Excerpt] from [[Collateral 4.12]]</ref> After falling into Limbo, it lost most of its blade.
