Sure, Nyong'o could simply have been using the term "war dog" to refer to a particularly aggressive and experienced soldier, but another name for the Hatut Zeraze is the Dogs of War. I think we see in this film, Nakia has to figure out what comes first for her, I think as a War Dog, she is in service to her country and to her passion, which is linked to the outside world. Her job is to spy around the world and report back to Wakanda to keep Wakanda safe and keep Wakanda informed. I can say that Nakia, when we meet her, is a War Dog which means she's one of Wakanda’s CIA members. So, while Black Panther might not be factoring the Hatut Zeraze into the movie's plot, it's an interesting bit of mythology that deserves some explanation and exploration. Her description triggered something in the depths of my Marvel memory, something about an elite team of warriors that existed apart from the Dora Milaje and acted as a sort of CIA for Wakanda. While speaking with Black Panther star Lupita Nyong'o, she used an interesting turn of phrase to describe her character, Nakia. But there's another faction within Wakanda that has yet to be mentioned outright by the Marvel movie's cast and crew. Just as the Dora Milaje are personal bodyguards of the Black Panther recruited from every tribe in Wakanda, so too are elite spies and assassins recruited from across Wakanda for the nation's secret police, the Hatut Zeraze. A panther's sense of smell is _ a dog's.Where Black Panther is concerned, a lot of attention has been focused on the title character, the royal family, and the fierce women warriors of the Dora Milaje, deservedly so. What the argument was about was difficult to guess. As I sat over the carcass, I heard after sometime a heated argument between the two panthers lurking in a patch of grass not far from their kill. Obviously, it was the handiwork of two panthers, not of one. The cow bore on its throat distinct marks of canines. Once, I felt called upon to settle the score with a particularly vicious panther that had killed a cow in a village after having spirited away its calf a few days earlier. Among all its senses, the sense of hearing of the panther is, without doubt, the sharpest. The very position of the nose provides a clue to the importance Nature attaches to its function in the life of an animal. The nose of the panther stuck back on its pug face is obviously not intended to perform the same function as the protruded nose of the dog, the wolf and the jackal, who hunt solely by scent. I have often seen panthers turning up at tiger's kill by taking scent of meat from a distance. Sportsmen who cannot resist smoking, unwittingly give themselves away while waiting in 'machans' for the panther. After all, the panther returns to its kill hidden by it under heavy undergrowth, solely by means of smell. This does not mean that the panther can't take scent at all. What this jungle jargon actually means is that among its senses the panther has the keenest hearing and the dullest sense of smell. There is a saying among the jungle folks that if the panther had as good a nose as its ears, there would have been only panthers in the forest.
