Okay story time about hyenas, D&D and antisemitism
Years ago I was inspired to make a werehyena fursona by a Dragon article about African monsters, which gave werehyenas as "makishi." There's actually no such folklore; there are makishi who are masked dancers in Zambia, afaik unrelated to kishi, hyena monsters in Angola, next door. Turns out I'd happened on the only real anti-semitic stereotype in Africa - not only were Beta Yisroel distrusted outsiders but the guys tended to hire out for work as smiths, deepening their association with witchcraft and hyenas!
