Just a Face and a Caption: Scavengers Are Scum

Well, ok, from having seen the film I know that the hyenas are depicted as cowards because they're scavengers, but you don't get that from the image. Zazu is clearly alive, so this depicts Predators Are Mean instead.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. Hyenas are scavengers, and they don't need to be actively scavenging in the picture to illustrate that. Their posture suggests they are being scum to the bird, too.

I'd agree to keep this image, but it has horrible quality. The hyenas in question don't really stand out from their equally-colored environment. All you can see are two grinning... something.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested with quality upgrade; this site should have a better quality version.

Maybe this for depicting more than one scavenger? I don't know how to turn trasparent with that shadow. Is it possible to erase it?

[up][up] They do look sleazy and conniving, and is miles better quality-wise.[tup]

[up][up]No, it's from an official The Lion Guard picture book.

I dunno, the suggestion doesn’t really show them being scum.

They have villainous expressions, which works for me pending other suggestions. I have the same views as petersohn on the current — it would be okay if I could clearly see what was going on. (I've seen the film, so I know they're hyenas, but they would look like two grinning something to those who haven't seen it).

Despite the trope name, this is not about scavengers being scummy. It's about scavengers being the villain. The suggestion in 7 works great because it utilizes Evil Is Angular, they have villainous expressions, and it's more than one type of scavenger. [tup] 7

Maybe something like this? I'm not sure but I think it's from The Lion King 1 ½.

[up]Overlaps with Heinous Hyena.

This is why I specifically looked for something with more than one scavenging species since Circling Vultures is also a thing.

I note that 14 is better than the current on Heinous Hyena.

7 is perfect. They are two different species of scavenger, justifying the plural, and their expressions and body language suggest they are plotting an evil scheme.

I think that's 6 votes for 7. A few more and we can call this.

Let's go ahead with 7; anyone able to make it transparent?

Caption?
