Shoosuva: D&D Monster Guide

A shoosuva is a hyena-demon gifted by Yeenoghu to an especially powerful worshiper (typically a fang of Yeenoghu). A shoosuva manifests shortly after a Yeenoghu-worshiping war band achieves a great victory, emerging from a billowing, fetid cloud of smoke as it arrives from the Abyss. In battle, the demon wraps its slavering jaws around one victim while lashing out with the poisonous stinger on its tail to bring down another. A creature immobilized by the poison becomes easy pickings for any nearby members of the war band.
