Hyaenodon — Detailed Guide
The Hyaenodon is a small pack carnivore that gets stronger in numbers. Its Meatpack turns it into a walking preserving bin. Packs of them make cheap early base guards, and they keep meat fresh on long trips.
Where to find it
It is common across most maps in both games, from The Island and The Center to Ragnarok, Extinction and Scorched Earth. It is notably frequent on Valguero in both ASA and ASE, and on Lost Colony in ASA.
Taming
A passive tame that uses no food. Build a trap of foundations and ceilings with a hollow space, lure the pack in, crawl under the ceiling and crouch. Pet it with E when the prompt appears, about every 30 seconds, while staying away from the pack leader. Missed prompts cost progress fast, and scaring it resets the tame. Ghillie Armor and 
Cactus Broth help you stay unnoticed.
Breeding
- Gestation: live birth after about 4 hours.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
- Pack bonus: each extra member up to six adds melee damage and resistance, and the highest-level member becomes pack leader with a larger buff.
- Meatpack: unlocks at level 19, cuts meat weight by 60% and makes most spoiling items last much longer.
Tips
It is too small to ride and has low health. Packs flee from big threats or when their leader dies.
