== Fighting alongside you (your pack) ==
A creature can either '''work''' a skill or '''fight in your pack''' — not both at once (putting a worker into the pack pulls it off its job, and vice versa). Your pack unlocks at '''[[Taming]] 10''' and grows to '''5 slots'''; assign members on the [[Player]] page, where your roster is sorted into {{Icon|glyph-paw}} Pack, {{Icon|glyph-people}} Working, {{Icon|glyph-moon}} Idle, and {{Icon|expeditions}} Away.

Pack members carry their own '''{{Icon|ui-hp}} Health''': in a fight their pool soaks part of every hit for you, and a member drained to 0 is injured (adding no strength and unable to work) until it heals — health only refills while a dino is '''resting''' (neither working nor fighting). Every fight also earns the pack '''[[Stable#Veteran levels|veteran levels]]''', which raise these contributions over time.

'''Pack Power''' is the strip that spells out exactly how much your pack adds:
* '''{{Icon|ui-attack}} [[Hunting]]''' — bonus attack and how much faster you bring quarry down.
* '''{{Icon|glyph-banner}} [[Expeditions]]''' and '''{{Icon|ui-pickaxe}} [[Delving]]''' — bonus strength on every run; dinos suited to caves add a ×1.25 edge underground.

On [[Expeditions]] you can also give each pack member a '''role''' — Attack, Guard, or Scout — to shape how runs resolve (see [[Expeditions#Party roles|Party roles]]).
