Hyenadon

The Hyenadon, referred to in the original NES translation as the Hyena, is an enemy in the original Final Fantasy.

They are slightly difficult enemies, having higher HP than most monsters in their general area, and sometimes appearing in large groups. If the player is fighting them near Melmond, they may have some trouble dealing with a large pack of Hyendaons, however, they are easier in the Mount Gulug because the player's party should be stronger at that point. They also appear in the Cavern of Earth, guarding a chest.

Etymology
Hyenadon was the name of a very large predator from about 30 million years ago.
