So, let's help each other out and drop some little brainstorming ideas here. Characters, adventures or whatever.
I'll start:

What would happen if an aggressive gore hound, the alpha animal, were to gain control of the pack after a packmaster's demise? And what if this gore hound started killing off other packmasters and taking control of those packs as well? Could lead to some interesting encounters...
They essentially are canines, no??? Even for canines, they're not that smart of an animal. Trying to kill off other Hound Packs' Leaders sounds a bit too close to a Power Grab, or just plain Greed. And in our real world, only humans (read: sentient beings with the capacity to knowingly do good or evil) really do that :(. Animals, for the most part, are living, preprogrammed organisms that don't deviate from their instincts. In the case of these Canine/Alien hybrids, they would act like any other Pack if left to themselves: establish an area, hunt prey within it, and keep out other packs, not 'absorb' them into itself in a bid for domination. In our real world, canines instinctively 'know' that while a larger Pack has better opportunity to bring down more prey, it is also in more danger of starvation; that's why there isn't one huge 'superpack' of Wolves, Hyenas, etc., in our real world. And very few species will take in 'outsiders' under normal circumstances.....
