Since I like the idea that they are created out of hyenas (I have great images of them being birthed out of one), I'd keep that but expand it to any sort of animal of the right size, with the resulting creature looking like a demonically bestial anthro version of whatever the animal was. Instead of humanoid (fiend) make them beast (fiend). Then just rename them to something else, like Ravagers.Actually, you could make them into something like anthro darkenbeasts (<a href="http://www.mojobob.com/roleplay/monstrousmanual/d/darkbeas.html" target="_blank">2e stats</a>) (<a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Darkenbeast" target="_blank">3e description</a>). The spell to make them isn't listed on either of those pages, but IIRC it was close enough to animate dead or create undead (except you didn't need to reassert control) that you could easily make a new spell. This way, you can have them being horrible kill-on-sight monsters but they wouldn't be a people. They'd be magical creations.</blockquote>
