Overview

The Hyaenodon is a small carnivore with a passive taming method. It features the carryable tag, allowing it to be picked up by larger flying creatures for rapid transport. This makes it a convenient and mobile companion for scouting or quick attacks without the need for traditional taming setups.

It can be carried by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Pteranodon, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment across long distances.

More about taming the Hyaenodon

A Hyaenodon is petted, not fed, and only when it is alone and has not noticed you. Wear a Ghillie Suit or drink Cactus Broth, separate one from its pack leader by more than ten metres, then crouch and wait for it to stop running and lose interest in you. A pet prompt appears once it is calm, alone and unaware. Pet it again within thirty seconds every time. A taming pen makes this far easier than chasing one in the open, and if it bolts you lose progress.

Hyaenodon is tamed passively, meaning it does not need to be knocked out. Feed it Kibble (Carno Egg) for the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works, though it is less efficient.

The process takes about 34 minutes at level 150 using the best food. No narcotics are needed. Use a Bola or trap it in a Bear Trap to prevent escape during taming.

Combat notes

Hyaenodon has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, making it highly vulnerable to certain dino attacks. It also takes +100% damage from spike walls, which are very effective in defense. Conversely, it is fully immune to Mining Drill harvest damage. Level Health and Melee Damage to maximize effectiveness.

The Hyaenodon has a head hitbox multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots more effective for faster knockout. Target the head during sedation for optimal efficiency.

Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Experience

  • The Hyaenodon can be immobilized with a Bola or Bear Trap during passive taming.
  • It is highly vulnerable to spike walls, taking double damage, so avoid placing it near such defenses.
  • It is immune to damage from Mining Drills, making it safe around automated mining setups.
  • It can be carried by flyers like Quetzal or Karkinos, enabling fast, safe traversal.
  • Its bite attack deals consistent damage with a short cooldown, suitable for light combat.
