78: Shunka Warak’in - Hellhound or Hermitish Hyena?

Team MLT goes on the hunt for the elusive Shunka Warak’in. Is this carnivorous canine roaming Western North America? Or is it a shadow of something past come to torment our present? Come along as we hunt for the deepest lore about this most elusive of unclassified, hyena-like canids roaming the American wilds in this episode of Monster Lore Tour.

Many thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @ timleavy.com for creating a most righteous theme song for us. Party on, Tim!
