Tips & Strategies
Best way to tame a whole pack: make a normal ramp trap, but add FIVE extra foundations in a line away from the main body of the trap separated by a double door. At the end of the foundation tunnel, put another double door and a ceiling with a hatchframe surrounded by walls, the one at the end should be a single door. Make sure the ground is level enough for you to get under this.
Lure the pack into the trap (either by aggro-ing a 3+ member pack or using honey) and get the alpha to follow you down the corridor and lock it in the hatchframe room. It is now far enough away that the rest of the pack won't register as too close to it to tame. They are SO much more chill like this, you can just stand in their face and pet them, seriously. Tame any packmembers that catch your eye, then kill the rest.
Now the alpha is alone and tameable, but also far more jumpy. Crawl under the hatchframe and carefully pet it through the floor. It CAN still sense you if you're in the open part of the hatchframe, so stick to the edges and touch those tootsies when they stick through. And boom, entire pack is yours. Put some meat packs on them, breed them to see the cutest babies in the game and enjoy!

Usage in game:
1) tame aid- can preserve prime meat allowing you to tame carnivores with ease.
2) pack hound- Iβd 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.
Itbh I think the pack buff should get a little debuff because a pack of 7 killed my pack of 4 direwolves

Dakronik's fun facts:
The hyaenodon will let you know a few minutes ahead of time that it is going to rain. It will notify you using a sort of whimper and bark.
Do with this what you will!
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!

This little boy reduce the weight of the raw meat stacks 4.0 to 1.6 per stacks and can preserve your meat like a bin. Breed those guys, put points into weight and you'll have a small "fridge" with legs. I always use a Giga with 5 hyaenodons when i farm meat for breeding and it's incredible the amount of meat i can obtain.
