Role & threat profile
The guardian has 135 hit points, speed 7, line of sight 9 and a 10-damage hand attack that strikes every 1.5 seconds. Its speed lets it close quickly on an Explorer, so a hero that is already injured may take damage before defeating the guard. The unit is a neutral encounter, not part of a player’s production roster.

Combat values
Clear the Hyena before collecting the Treasure. Check the full guardian group and the Explorer’s remaining health before engaging, then use nearby troops if the encounter is too dangerous for the hero alone. Because it moves quickly, do not leave a hero unattended beside an uncleared Treasure. Once defeated, collect the reward and continue exploring rather than treating the Hyena as a source of Food.
Distinguish the Treasure guardian from wildlife
The Age III Hyena is classified as a Treasure guardian in The African Royals. Its purpose is to protect a map reward, and its 135 health, 10 damage and fast 7.0 movement describe that encounter. The shared animal name can appear in other series contexts with entirely different behavior and values; those profiles should not be applied to this unit. For a Treasure run, locate the guardian first, compare its threat with the Explorer’s health and bring support if multiple guards can attack together.
