The Island of Dr. Moreau

by

H. G. Wells

The Hyena-Swine is the most powerful and fearsome of the Beast Folk, and with the Leopard Man, swiftly regresses back into an animal. With the death of Moreau, the Hyena-Swine understands that there is no more society, no more masters, and no more whips, becoming a fearsome predator and the greatest threat to Prendick. After the Hyena-Swine kills the Dog Man, Prendick shoots it dead.
