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)

They spawn at mountains that includes the redwoods mountain but not the winter ones. They can spawn alone or up to a pack of 6 and if you're by yourself they will attack you, if you're on a dino like a rex they will run away from you. The highest level hyena will also have a red and orange aura surrounding its chest which signifies that it is an alpha.

They DO exist on ARK ultimate mobile edition! (not on old ark mobile tho.)

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

Man encountering a wild pack of these bad boys with no strap your screwed😂. Good luck out there stay strapped boys.

They can jump through stone windows. If you have any Windies in your taming pen, close them before you grab these guys.

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

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.

You can find them in the city on extinction

My most hated creature I lost a lot of potential tames to these. I hate that they are hella opportunistic, they try to attack me every time I get off my thezi, but when I get on they run. I just find the to be malevolent.

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.

You can find these cute little guys on beaches near the snow.

you can find these guys on mobile in ultimate mobile edition!! i found a pack of these guys near north, but i was there for a couple argies so i didnt tame any, but i will be going back soon to get one or two!

These guys seem to only target dead or unconscious creatures. Please surround any tames in progress with spike walls so that a pack of these jerks won't come out of the woodwork & ruin your taming effectiveness 😑

You can tame the alpha. After killing the underlings it should debuff shortly thereafter, as long as you don't lose it.

These things will only attack if they are in a pack of 4 or more.

They will attack you if they are in large numbers. If they attack, don't flee. Just keep fighting, because when they get to 2 (or 3) they will flee. They are also way to fast to flee form. Just stand and fight. (You're screwed without a mount)

The spawn on the floating island in the center

They won’t attack unless they’re others nearby.

A hyaenodon will run from you but if in a pack, they will all turn on you.
