They heal any tamed Dino nearby at the cost of food. Get a whole large pack of Daedons made up of pack leaders and you will be very well protected and since they can heal each other one of your daedons will rarely die. Upv0te if ya found helpful.
Daeodon
The Daeodon (or 'Hell Pig') is a vicious pig. This pig has a high healing and food consumption rate, making it difficult to maintain. It can be tamed and ridden, however, taming it is quite a difficult task.

What ARK players use the Daeodon for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can be used to raise a baby wyvern without milk if needed. Either raise it without milk or imprinting, or save that milk for imprinting ;). Also, I have done it before so this isn’t a lie. uppers if useful
If you tame 3 of these they get a pack bonus allowing them to get a tremendous health regeneration boost.
You can use these to completely bypass wyvern milk and heal the baby dragons while they grow up
Pros:they’re easy to tame cuz you can bola them and they eat you taming food quick after knocking them out. And after taming,they’re great at caving,boss fights,hunting,and even taking care of babies you don’t have any food for.
Cons:they eat like nickocado avocado.
Use cooked meat when feeding them, it refills more food than raw meat
PASSIVE HEALING WILL DRAIN FOOD CRAZY!
Put a bunch of these on a Bronto's saddle platform encased in metal walls, feed your bronto some tasty veggie cakes, and rain he'll amongst your server with your invincible bronto
For those wondering which meat is the best this is what I found out
Raw meat: 10 food. Cook meat: 25 food
Cook/raw prime meat: 50 food
Cook/raw mutton meat: 50 food
Raw fish: 5 food. Cook fish: 12 food
It can eat kibbles as well
Basic/simple/regular: 95 food…

Superior and higher : 85 food
I've tested the number over and over it's accurate as I can get it. You're welcome to test it yourself as well but these are my results.
Goes through so much food you will want to cry... it's healing ability runs on like 1 meat per second
This mf drains its food bar within seconds
Put plenty of points into food for this creature. This does not buff the healing, but rather increases the duration of the healing. And as almost everyone else has said before, IT GOES THROUGH FOOD VERY QUICKLY, so make sure to put plenty of meat on it.
Theyre very usefull for healing ur dinos but they use alot of food while doing so, so heres a tipp: fill a feedingtroth full of meat, go out of render distance for 15-30 seconds and go back, the daeodon shouldve eaten all the meat or went back to full hunger. I always use them…

I always use them after battles or bosses to heal, you can also use them in bosses but its better if theres a tribemate ridding it but u can also use them solo if your carefull.
These things eat tons. Mine so far has ate 6 Ovis 15 therizinosaurs,4 dire bears and a mammoth in the span of 3 hours
As others have said, cooked meat refils food more than raw meat for Daedons, so HE WILL DECIMATE your raw feeding boxes! Keep him away from them and load him up or a seperate box with cooked meat or your other tames will eat HIS food first and your daedons will eat THEIR food…

Hope this helps :)
The second Dino to have a butthole in ark the Daeodon
Dawson's will heal any of your tamed creatures that are near it but it comes at a cost of all of its food so make sure you have a lot of food or another daedon that can keep healing each other. And when you tame them, they take alot of food so I would use prime meat or any…

And when you tame them, they take alot of food so I would use prime meat or any food that will give alot of food and use sanguine elixir or soothing balm.
Hope that helps in anyway thanks!! 🪳🪳🪳
Don’t know if anyone knows this but they’re really good at getting rare mushrooms, being at least better than a parasaur or morellatops.
Did u know that they can heal each other and other dinos. If u get a whole army of them, when fighting, they will heal each other making them an invincible enemy. Please hit the good button so more people can see.

Just remember to turn off passive healing when not needed or you might come back to a lying corpses of a oversized boar.
