Dor'daan follow a pack hierarchy, with a "tracker/finder" leading the pack towards the best prey and meals. They engage in coordinated attacks in order to bring down their prey, usually by way of applying the momentum of several creatures at once in order to send their quarry flying off a cliff so they can feast on the broken body at the bottom. Otherwise, they move as a group except when luring other stalking predators to their doom. Foreign packs sometimes enter into territorial disputes, but generally these end with a bunch of bristled fur and loud barks. Dor'daan generally fall in with the packs they were born into and don't leave. Packs tend to be around 10 large.

===== Domestication =====
The Dor'daan is not a domesticated animal in the slightest. In the event that a L'manel bonds with one, they become markedly more intelligent and loyal to their bonded companion, but they still don't listen the way a domesticated animal would.

Pre-underground Lorath once thought areas where Dor'daan lived to be protected by a great and powerful beast that kills indiscriminately and makes the vallesy quake with its roar. Of course, when they found out that it was just a very small creature making a big boom, everybody had a good laugh about it. And then realized that these small critters are incredibly dangerous if one is not careful.
