Yes. As well as anything else that has been attributed to him.
Hyenas mostly hunt larger game, or steal carcasses from other predators. They are specialized to scavenge. For their size, hyenas have the stongest crushing jaws found among mammals, and the strongest stomach acid. They can cruch down anything, and gain nutrients from it. In this aspect, the Devourer is apporpriate. Also, a similarity between hyenas and UZ seems obvious. (Nocturnal, hungry, matriarchal).
Hyenas also hunt live prey, mostly larger game. According to the Discovery Channel, (source of all knowledge for the busy), packs of hyenas have been known to have rivalries with prides of lions.
Jackals and other small canines subsist largely on rodents, lizards, birds, and very young gazelle. They do not live in packs, but in small family groups. (Canines form larger packs when they regularly hunt prey much larger than themselves. Wolves are a good example of this.)
Therefore, Prax could have both hyenas and jackals, as many parts of Africa do. However, in North America, wolves and coyotes often compete for prey, as do coyotes and foxes. Generally, the larger species wins out, unless it attracts too much negative attention from humans, (as wolves do), or if one has a generous supply of tasty critters too big for the other - coyotes eating cats, for example, leaves room for foxes. This means that, in your Gloranthan ecosystems, you could have foxes and wolves living together, but probably not foxes and coyotes.
Anyone have any ideas what the Pelorian "foxaret" might be like?
