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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

I'm surprised more people haven't tested these little guys. Last time I played was in 2018 and at that time I could take 8 breed doggies with a yuti and I could take out gigas with them.. the meat pack I had was only journeyman too.. never got around to trying them on bosses. Underestimated tame.

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

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.

Hands down one of if not the best hunting dog in ark. Cheap to armor, pack bonus, heals when harvesting corpses, and most importantly they are treated as man sized for Dino colishion so even raptors don’t get stuck on them. High lvl pack can down deathworms and alpha Rex BUT require a anchor or the Rex will spin and do massive trample damage.

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

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

Very good for taming a troodon.

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.

Underrated hunters! Pack of 4 (average level 40) took down an alpha raptor in two seconds and lost only a few hp!

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
