Spined Hyena
A spined hyena is a big toothy quadruped with a long row of spines down its back. It only has one "hand", its mouth, and gets +2 damage with unarmed attacks that use that hand (damage bonus included). The spines on its back can be plunged into any surface as a minor action, and retracted as an immediate action, allowing it to potentially hang from ceilings in wait for prey.
Spined hyenas are moderately smart, can speak in the voice of any creature they have heard in the past 24 hours, and know every language. They survive on a diet of calories of half the normal size, but can only digest brains; thus, they are often found digging up the corpses of large-brained creatures.
