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

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

Walking fridge

Does not gather fiber. Please remove this from resource gathering.

Just kill every single one in sight they give a stupid amount of XP and are easy to kill. Grab a XP boost and watch your Dinos level like never before!

Little known fact, they reduce the weight of raw meat from 2 lbs per stack to 0.8 per stack.

Just did the ice cave on the island with 8 of these. It was a cake walk. They took on 20+ bats at once. Hard to get them in and out the cave though.

Very easy to breed. Make excellent cave divers. Alpha does over 1000 dmg per bite with 800% melee and a +4 pack bonus and mate boosted and petted.

When you ask them to follow you they tend to stay closer to your character then other Dino's making them better for caves, and they can act like a mobile fridge.

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!

Can be heard howling like a banshee at night .......... only at night

Starts out as a preserving bin, after u make the meatpack it becomes a mini fridge

Easy to find, breed and level. King of Cave Diving. Can use golden hesperornis eggs to quickly level up petting and pack bonus make the tanky with high dps. Can easily reach 4k hp with 500% meelee. Yutyranno buff will make them extremly hard to kill, they heal themselves when eating corpses are small and get armor through their saddle one of the most reliable creatures on the ark.

People are saying that the meat pack is like a Persirving bin when it increases them time like a frig

When Hyaenodon bite the killed creature body，they will recover large HP.
Attention：If a team of Hyaenodon kill a creature，the Hyaenodons that first bite the body at same time will be healing，others will not.

Have it follow you on a meat run for double what u usually get. Iv never lost one yet and it keeps up with a giga

When killing alphas bring this on your argie or quetz and put it faraway in a safe place. Then when you kill the alpha put all the prime meat into the hyeanodon and go home with it so you have prime meat than hasn’t spoiled

Basically tame a male and one to two females then breed them like crazy to make a full pack just be reminded when breading have walls 2 hi for some reason they glitch above the walls

I like to get a pack of them and go hunting on the beach well I did that when I was new but they are also good for a cave run

Get pack bost bigger pack means more damage pump only melee
