Teafant's expressions are also what make it so cute. It has large, watery doe eyes that are almost always beaming. The animations when working, such as watering crops, showcase the Teafant's blissful bobbing.


This Pal can be bred by combining a Wumpo with any Grass Pal . The Wumpo Botan * requires a lot of food * to keep it from starving, but it comes with a lot of powerful abilities and traits. If kept at the base, it's a high-level transporter, but its lumbering skills are also decent. However, if a Tamer has the Wumpo Botan in their party, it increases the maximum carrying capacity of that Tamer by helping carry heavy it

Every couple of months, a game emerges from nowhere and takes over the world. Before Christmas, it was Lethal Company, a game made by a single developer which became the breakout horror hit of winter. When it comes to survival games, we’ve seen hits like Valheim and Sons of the Forest attract untold virality in the first few months of release before swiftly fading away. Both of these games are built for sharing with friends or giving odd happenings a second home online in the form of video clips and screenshots. You will see one of these, and more likely than not, be drawn into picking up the game for yourself.

You can find Mossandas in a similar environment to the Beegardes, a large island north of the spawn point. Mossandas generally travel in groups of two or three, so be careful when you head out in search of one.



Palworld is an open-world crafting survival RPG developed by Pocket Pair Inc. and released in 2024. Set in a colorful, open-ended world, players will travel the land collecting creatures called "Pals" as they battle, build, travel across the world, and choose their path forward. From a ruthless creature boss to an anti-poaching activist hunter, players can tackle Palworld how they w

Not only are Cattivas good at transporting, but they’re also useful for handiwork, gathering, and mining. So, when there’s nothing else to collect and store, they'll get to work on any other jobs you’ve got around the base. Another great thing about Cattivas is their partner skill, as they increase your carry weight when in the party.

The exact same has happened with Palworld, whose very concept is already purpose-built fuel for online engagement. Combine that with a relatively cheap asking price, Game Pass launch, and gamers in dire need of a game to fill the void left in the wake of several mediocre Pokemon titles, and the success story writes itself. That’s not to say it’ll stick around, and I can already see its many cracks starting to show.

Palworld DLC is the video game success story of 2024. Well, of January. But the jury is still out on whether PocketPair’s survival game can keep players coming back with future updates as it fights accusations of plagiarism . The game isn’t original. There’s a reason we described it with the easy shorthand ‘Pokemon With Guns’.

Wumpos will be found much later on in the game, at the northern point of the map in a cold, snowy biome. It’s important to make sure you’re fully equipped before heading out to find one, as you might freeze to death before getting a glimpse.


Otherwise, it's a good idea to develop a system of automated food production at base as soon as possible. Various Pals will aid in the processes of growing and cooking food. In the early game, it's best to catch a Gumoss for sowing, a Pengullet for watering, a Tanzee for harvesting, and a Foxparks for cooking. Altogether, these four Pals will take care of food production with almost no input from the player. With plots for growing, chests for storage, and a campfire for cooking, the player can select a recipe and sit b

The Quivern is by far the cutest Pal. They balance a cool color palette with soft, fluffy features. In their Paldeck description, it's revealed that they are cuddly sleepers. There is the risk of being crushed by a giant white dragon that tosses and turns, but it seems worth it.

Its success also tells us so much about not only the state of modern video games, but trends that we gravitate towards and the fleeting permanence of survival games that capture the imagination of millions one minute, and cease to exist the next. Palworld is the only thing many media outlets and enthusiasts can talk about as millions continue to pick the game up, while evolving drama around whether it stole models directly from Pokemon or is making use of generative AI remains on the tip of everyone’s tongue. There are myriad new things to take from the popularity of Palworld, and it all starts with the beautiful well of drama.

Mossanda is a pal with a few high-level skills that will help your base. Since their transporting skill is level three, they’re a great addition to your workforce. Unlike Helzephyr, Mossanda will be able to focus on other tasks when there are no goods to transport. This makes them great for bases with little transport needs, as they can complete the short task when needed and move on to others after.
