Lancelot's heart slowly sank. That enormous figure could only be the notoriously fearsome 'Lord of the Jackalwere', Yenogu.
Having been with Kalalin for so long, Lancelot had memorized details about several famous Abyssal Lords. The Destroyer, the Bloodthirsty Beast, the Slaughter Prince, the Lord of Ruins, the Lord of the Jackalwere, and also the lord of the 422nd layer of the Abyss. The legend goes that when Yenogu first rampaged across the Prime Material Plane, a group of greedy hyenas followed him, feeding on the corpses of those killed by the demon. Some of the food still contained Yenogu's corrupted blood, thus giving birth to the first Jackalweres. Nowadays, Yenogu blesses certain individuals among the Jackalwere tribes, dubbed 'Yenogu's Venom Fangs'. Hyenas feeding on the corpses slain by these individuals might transform into new Jackalweres.
