		The scientific name of the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) was taken from the mythological Crocotta, and there are some similarities in the description.
		Local folklore about hyena often gives them powers such as gender switching (males and females are difficult to distinguish), shape shifting, and human speech - all of which encourages the belief that hyena may have contributed to the original myth of the crocotta.

		Description: In mythological tales, the lupine Crocotta of India stalks humans and dogs, feasting upon their flesh at every opportunity.
		It is a wonderfully lazy beast, and rather than risk exhaustion from chasing after prey, prefers to imitate the sound of a man vomiting in order to lure curious canines towards its hiding spot.
		As every Crocotta knows, dogs are unable to resist the vaguely intriguing sound of a retching human.
