Bud or Lou. (Abbot and Costello) Be a good name for a hyena because they’re laughing all the time.

I have tamed one of the white hyenas and named him Itchii because of the way he scratches himself when he’s idle.
I have a scarlet hound on another hunter that I named Tala, which means red wolf in Sioux

I like going the authentic route, I like the name Kifo, it means death in swahili. Or Kumbo, which means destruction. Also, adding -leta or -ukilia means “to bring about” DSo, kifoleta or kifoukilia means to bring about death, or deathbringer.

I forgot to add this, but I also have a red crab that I will also soon be submitting for you all to shake a stick at :]
That, and I haven’t necessarily picked Schadenfreude.

I like several of these suggestions, especially Schadenfreude. That one’s an intellectual jewel of a name :]
However I’d also like to add that I see my hyena as being a male.

I have raised many a Hyena and have taken pride in all their names. My first tame was Snort the Heckler, whom I named ‘Snort’. It was too perfect.

Years later, I made a Dreanai hunter and walked her to The Barrens (gankville for me) and tamed Snort The Heckler again. I named him Heckleberry. Not many people get it, but when they did I got tons of compliments. Like, Huckleberry Hound? Snort the Heckler? Yeah.

Err, bragging aside, I’m trying to find a name for the Scarlet Teacking Hound I tamed with my 63 Hunter. Here are a few names I’ve been tossing around:

Ruffles
Truffles (more of a Boar name, but still)
Victor
Victoria
Gingersnap

The model WoW Hyena are after is the Spotted Hyena (genus Crocuta), so Crocuta may be good.

Also, there is a mythical beasts named ‘Crocotta’ (also known as corocotta, crocuta, or yena) which was said to be like a mix between a dog and wolf. It could mimic the sound of human speech, had insanly strong jaw strength, and it’s spine was so ridgid, it had to turn around to see behind it. (Much like the WoW model)

Those brown hyena are beautiful, and you two make a perfect combo. Aren’t Hyena the best? :D Grats on the unique tame and good luck with your new friend!
