Alright, so I failed at this over and over again, and here’s what I learned so you’re not like me.

Don’t try to trap in rails or low walls, you’ll need something at least three high to not worry about them waltzing over.

Don’t get in front of them, they’ll bounce, and if they bounce, don’t chase them, if they run once all the progress depletes rapidly.

Use cactus soup or whatever it’s called, not bug spray (obviously).

If you get one trapped randomly in a rock, do not move when you pet it at all, and try to pet it when it’s looking away from you, it’ll be a lot safer.

Don’t try to tame the alpha, and don’t try to tame one near the alpha.

Once you attempt to tame one, and they end up running (at least for me), you cannot tame again 85% of the time, they just book it when you pet them.

If you’re not trapping, stay directly behind, and pray it doesn’t suddenly turn around.

Hope this helps someone, everyone deserves a dog.

How to tame these good pups.

Step 1: get an argy or pt (or if you’re close to their spawn locations you don’t need)

Step 2: I’d recommend to get atleast 3 for the pack boost possibly mate boost.

Step 3: locate a pack

Step 4: stay away from alpha and pet the one you want to tame

Step 5: try to not make them mad or scared

Step 6: follow the one you picked around and pet until tamed

Step 7: repeat until you have enough pups

Thank you for reading I’m sorry if it didn’t work this is just how I tame them!<3

Fact: Hyaenodons in real life were actually not even related to hyenas , their closest living relatives are pangolins(which also are not related in the slightest to raccoons, anteaters, aardvarks, armadillos or hedgehogs). And real hyenas despite appearances are actually not related to dogs or wolves, in fact their closest relatives are meerkats and mongooses and meerkats and mongooses' closest other relatives are cats and civets(also known as bearcats)

You cannot find these guys sadly on mobile.

You can make them a meat pack wich works as a preserving bin.

524 points   🔧 Utility   May 30, 2017   Report

Once tamed you cannot ride them but you can place saddle bags on it to act as a preserving bin and eating a dead corpse will regain its health almost instantly

Normally you can't tame the pack leader, so just get a pteranodon or argy, pick it up and drop it in a large area (like a separate section of your base). When you take it away from the rest of the pack, it removes its 'pack leader' title, allowing you to tame the highest level hyena of that pack.

Adorable!!! If you tame one you have a pet and a good damage dealer, but if you tame multiple.. more good doggos and HUGE damage!! Also meatpack serves as preserving bin!

Walking fridge

Usage in game:

1) tame aid- can preserve prime meat allowing you to tame carnivores with ease.

2) pack hound- I’d personally only recommend for packs of five and upward, but their ability to heal like Argents means they gain strength with every victory.

3) Pet- Their just cute.

Despite it's appearance, the real life hyaenodon was nowhere near related to actual hyenas, but it actually belongs to a group of prehistoric mammals, all extinct, that are believed to be most closely related to pangolins, which aren't related to anteaters or armadillos, for your information.

They have the cutest taming method evr

Hyaenodons will only fight someone who they think they can beat. If the Hyaenodons do not think they can beat you, they will run. If they do, they will attack.
