In Palworld, the act of collecting monsters, known as Pals, encompasses a myriad of factors. Some Pals excel in combat or serve as swift mounts, while others prove invaluable in base-related tasks. However, a select few Pals have captured the affection of players solely due to their endearing, quirky, and humorous traits. While these Pals may still possess impressive abilities, they offer an additional layer of personality that resonates with players.
Palworld introduces players to a diverse array of monster-like creatures, each serving unique roles to aid in survival and exploration. Every Pal boasts distinct stats, pinpointing their areas of utility, and it's crucial to assess their abilities before assigning tasks. Much like in Pokémon games, there's a sense of enjoyment in striving to collect all the Pals and discovering their individual characteristics. Naturally, every player develops a fondness for specific Pals, making them favorites within their collection.
Hoocrates (Paldeck #015)
Dark Element Pal
Aside from its philosophical name, Hoocrates is recognized as the Purveyor of Wisdom, as stated in Palworld's in-game Paldeck. Described as "often lost in thought" and occasionally struggling with sleep, Hoocrates embodies the notion of "I think, therefore I am." Its design features further reference its intellectual persona, with its head resembling a wizard hat and sporting a lightning bolt akin to those found in Harry Potter's iconic scar. Originally named Smug Owl, this avian creature aptly balances humor with intellect.
Kingpaca (Paldeck #089)
Neutral Element Pal
Meet the Supreme Fluff Commander, better known as the Kingpaca, a Pal that reigns with comedic grandeur. Its imposing stature is accentuated by a trident-like crown adorning its head, while its perpetually serious expression gives off an air of importance. Adding to its humorous appearance are its diminutive feet, adorned with what appear to be tiny red slippers. Kingpaca's signature move, the Kingly Slam, sees it leaping into the air to crush foes with its majestic weight, executed with all the regal flair one would expect. Additionally, the smaller Melpaca plays a supportive role to the Kingpaca, while the latter graciously offers up Melpacas as prizes in competitions, demonstrating its royal generosity.
Fuack (Paldeck #006)
Water Element Pal
Enter Fuack, a whimsical fusion of duck and platypus, sporting distinctive blue pigtail-like feathers atop its head and a neck adorned with feather bands resembling a necklace. As a Water Element Pal, Fuack possesses the unique ability to manipulate its bodily water to generate waves, even on dry land. This grants Fuack the capability to swiftly body surf wherever it pleases, ideal for moments requiring rapid movement. However, Fuack's intelligence regarding the timing of this ability leaves something to be desired. The unfortunate consequence of its impulsive body surfing tendencies often leads to comically tragic collisions with obstacles in its path, resulting in both amusement and sorrow.
Tanzee (Paldeck #008)
Grass Element Pal
Meet Tanzee, the epitome of adorable charm embodied in a petite green monkey, seemingly perfect for companionship. Its cheerful demeanor shines through, especially evident in its Cheery Rifle Partner Skill, where Tanzee gleefully wields an assault rifle to unleash merciless gunfire upon nearby foes. However, when not equipped with its preferred AK-47, Tanzee resorts to its Seed Mine attack, an explosive maneuver involving the throwing of feces at enemies. While unconventional, Tanzee's playful and spirited nature adds a unique touch to its combat prowess.
Tocotoco (Paldeck #027)
Neutral Element Pal
Enter Tocotoco, a creature whose very existence is steeped in comedy, from its flamboyant appearance and vacant gaze to its peculiar tendency to detonate itself and its eggs. In the wild, Tocotocos exhibit a rather counterintuitive defense mechanism, chasing after players with the intention of exploding upon them. Their Partner Skill takes the absurdity to new heights, as players wield the bird in a backward-facing position, effectively transforming it into a living grenade launcher that propels explosive eggs from its rear end. With its penchant for comedic chaos, Tocotoco injects a healthy dose of humor into Palworld's adventures.
Galeclaw (Paldeck #047)
Neutral Element Pal
Introducing Galeclaw, a magnificent avian companion and one of Palworld's esteemed Pals capable of serving as a flying mount for players. With its Partner Skill, Galeclaw grants players the ability to soar through the skies, doubling as a glider to allow for uninterrupted firearm use during flight. However, there's a catch: when Galeclaw grows weary, it has a tendency to abruptly release its grip without warning. As noted in its in-game Paldeck entry, this proclivity for letting go when fatigued has unfortunately spelled the sudden demise of more than a few unfortunate souls. Despite its majestic appearance and practical utility, Galeclaw's unpredictability adds an element of danger to its aerial companionship.
Lovander (Paldeck #069)
Neutral Element Pal
With Palworld's debut, Lovander quickly rose to prominence as the subject of numerous jokes and memes. This towering, bipedal Pal, adorned in pink hues and adorned with hearts, embarks on a perpetual quest for love wherever it roams. Unconcerned with the species of Pal, Lovander eagerly pursues all creatures, be they human or otherwise, in its relentless pursuit of affection. Appropriately, Lovander occupies the 69th slot in the Paldeck, solidifying its status as a lighthearted icon within the Palworld community.
Dumud (Paldeck #043)
Ground Element Pal
Behold Dumud, the epitome of lovable charm with its endearing smile that can effortlessly lift one's spirits. This adorably dimwitted blobfish Pal boasts a vacant expression that unmistakably reveals its lack of intellect. With a leisurely demeanor, Dumud exhibits a sluggish reaction time, rendering it less effective in combat despite its proficiency in mining tasks. Indeed, Dumud is not renowned for its intelligence. As described in its Palworld Paldeck entry, "Even if it were sliced from head to tail, it probably wouldn't even realize that it should be dead until the next morning." Despite its dim-witted nature, Dumud's affable presence adds a touch of whimsy to the Palworld universe.
Pengullet (Paldeck #010)
Water & Ice Element Pal
Meet Pengullet, the delightful blue penguin sporting a round body and a charming tuft of feathers atop its head. While some liken its appearance to the infamous Super Mario 64 penguin babies, Pengullet is far from easily swayed by cliffsides. However, it's not immune to being launched off cliffs, or any other location players desire. With its unique Partner Ability, Pengullet Cannon, players can load this feisty little Pal as ammunition in a Rocket Launcher and unleash it upon enemies. Upon impact, Pengullet detonates, temporarily incapacitating itself while dealing explosive damage to foes. Despite its adorable exterior, Pengullet proves to be a formidable asset in combat, adding a dash of whimsy to its explosive prowess.
Depresso (Paldeck #017)
Dark Element Pal
Enter Depresso, the Pal with a perpetually annoyed expression and a gloomy, weary demeanor that many can relate to. Despite its disheartened appearance, Depresso exudes an undeniable charm and lovability. However, it's when utilizing its Partner Skill that Depresso truly shines in hilarity. In Palworld, Depresso showcases its humorous side by employing the Caffeine Inoculation Partner Skill. By consuming copious amounts of energy drinks, Depresso experiences a temporary surge in energy, enabling it to move and operate at an accelerated pace. This juxtaposition of gloominess and hyperactivity adds a delightful touch of humor to Depresso's character, making it a Pal that players can't help but adore.
