Past research - Hyena or Gnoll - The Red Kiwano
The Red Kiwano is a fruit. It has few medical virtues. The only known use is to soothe depression by fumigating the dried fruit pulp. This has a calming effect and often leads to sessions of laughter.
When eaten raw, in addition to its pleasantly fresh, cucumber-banana-kiwifruit taste, it gives the impression of a hyena or gnoll.
