I suggest another variety of Primal mutation - based on Homotherium Serum, otherwise called the scimitar-toothed cat!
Why?

Because it could be a True Hyena Lion, answering the wishes of people wanting "hyena" mutation - without it going too far away from the current Lioden concept of prehistoric sabertooth cats featured in primal variations! It is as close of a cat to lion as a smilodon or dinofelis are, which are already featured as primal variations!

A distinctive trait of this prehistoric sabertooth cat was a striking resemblance with a Hyena skeleton structure!


They posessed greatly lowered croupe area and longer muzzle than other saber cats.



In Lioden-ised version, it could feature a fluffy ridge-mane on the top of the head and neck, and a fluffier tuft of the tail - making them resemble modern lion AND the hyena even closer!

Unique Way(s) of Obtaining!

(These are just possible options it might be executed; obviously it'll be up to admins to decide how and when it should be released!)

Since there's already a wide variety of breedable primals, I suggest this variety having a unique way of getting it - as a reward for Finishing January Storyline!

A plot twist - make the Hyena Queen's true plan for gathering so many hyenas a development of special Serum, that you have the option to drink after you kill/defeat her! The Serum could be used on any Primal or Primal Variation lion in your pride and upon being used, it'd change their Primal into Primal (Serum)!

Alt 1. Possibly only on 0-11 months cubs? For a more realisic touch on it working like an actual medicine?

Alt 2. OR it could work like Mukombero/Dorsal Fur boost, but unique in that it can only be applied to a Primal lion - king or pride female - and next breeding, that lion would be guaranteed a Serum primal cub. Sort of like "Only the powerful body of a Primal lion can withstand this bitter serum!" lore explanation for it.



A very fitting "pun" way of obtaining a loosely "hyena" looking mutation!
(AND a special thing for the quest ending after all possible colors/spots/stripes for hyenas run out and there'd be nothing new to add on applicators! January is also the origin of the Primal applicator so being in January will allow anyone to get their Primal app and obtain this change.)

Another possible event for it could be November with shamans reviving things from fossils - possibly an angry spirit possessing a lion, and/or only Primals being strong enough to survive being posessed by it? Similar to how Aker is being agressive posessed by a spirit that needs to be pacified - an agressive spirit bothering wildlife, at first appearing to be hyena, but then the shamans would be able to determine its actually a restless Primal spirit? (But that would be a start of a storyline already X.X)

After obtaining it, it will work the same way Ferus does - has a small chance to pass from both father and mother, and can also fail to other primal variations.
