Tips & Strategies
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)
More Hyaenodon Encountering Tips
Man encountering a wild pack of these bad boys with no strap your screwed😂. Good luck out there stay strapped boys.
These absolute wankers are everywhere in the mountains and if you don’t have something larger than a parasaur it’ll target you and kill you
Fortunately if you are smart like me, you head to the nearest jutting rock and run around it, they have an insane leap so they’ll most likely overshoot and get punted down the mountains
Up this if you find it helpful
Hyenadons in a pack of 2 or less they will run away
3 hyenadons will attack if you’re wounded
A pack of 6 or more will attack no matter what and kill your level 200 raptor with 75% imprinting (found that out the hard way 😢)
When tamed they are killing machines in a pack and with a pet bonus
They are not on mobile! So sad, now I I can’t get a good boi…least I have the dire wolf.
They can jump through stone windows. If you have any Windies in your taming pen, close them before you grab these guys.
You can find them in the city on extinction
Hyaenodons are opprotunists, meaning if they have an opprotunity to get a quick, free meal, they'll take it. Corpses? Heck yeah. Low HP? Yup.
Easy guide;
1. Grab the strongest one in the pack with a flyer.
2. Bring it to an area clear of anything.
3. Pet it multiple times.
They won’t attack unless they’re others nearby.
