Ranking Palworld's Cutest Pals: Expert Picks by My Girlfriend

Patrick_Yu · March 7

Palworld, this year's surprisingly hit game by PocketPair, is a treasure trove of adorable creatures, each vying for the title of the cutest companion as players explore the enchanting Palpagos Islands.

During this year’s cozy Valentine's Day weekend, I introduced Palworld to my girlfriend, gifting us both with the chance to immerse ourselves in its captivating universe. It wasn't long before she became utterly enchanted by the game's delightful array of creatures, eventually spending more time playing than I did. Over our 50 hours of shared adventure and discovery, she has carefully selected a list of Pals that stand at the pinnacle of cuteness. It's worth noting that her preferences skew towards the larger Pals, with many of her favorites being the "Alpha" or "Boss" variations. Without further ado, here are the ten cutest Pals, according to my girlfriend, each one irresistibly adorable to her.

1. Chillet

Chillet is not only a fan favorite within the Palworld community but also a standout for its adorableness, making it an obvious choice for any list of the game's cutest Pals. This creature captivates with its big, expressive blue eyes and a little nose that seems made for booping. The addition of giant ears, cheek tufts, and a fluffy, bushy tail further amplifies its charm. Beyond its appearance, Chillet's behavior adds to its endearing qualities, notably its unique habit of curling up and rolling around at high speeds, which is both amusing and adorable. Its availability early in the game makes it a relatively easy companion to acquire, enhancing its appeal. The combination of Chillet's visually appealing features and its quirky behaviors solidifies its position as an irresistibly cute Pal in Palworld.

2. Mozzarina

Growing up in the countryside of France, my girlfriend frequently found herself amidst farm animals, with her uncle's cow farm being one of her favorite places to visit. Her upbringing gave her a real soft spot for cows, which explains why Mozzarina quickly became one of her favorite Pals in Palworld. These spherical cows, notable for their sharp teeth, are not only adorable to behold but also extremely useful within the game. Mozzarina stands out as the only Pal capable of producing milk, an essential ingredient for those who engage in breeding Pals. Likely, if you're involved in this aspect of Palworld, you'll have a Mozzarina at your base, diligently producing milk for making cake.

3. Penking

Another early-game boss that players might encounter is Penking, which we believe is more closely related to Fuack than to Pengullet, as suggested by its in-game description: 'Surprisingly, it is unrelated to Penguin. Ever wanting to be the center of attention, this Pal will strut its stuff for any onlookers.' Penking has also made it onto the list of cutest Pals, according to my girlfriend. This regal, penguin-like creature has captivated her heart, seemingly playfully masquerading as a king, a pirate, and a penguin all at once. Additionally, Penking proves to be a great early-game companion for your base.

4. Quivern

In Palworld, the Quivern reimagines the classic dragon with a cute twist, boasting a feathered coat instead of scales. This pear-shaped, waddling creature captures hearts, blending a serene palette of whites and pale blues with fluffiness that begs for a cuddle. Described in its Paldeck entry as a cuddly sleeper, the Quivern offers the adorable risk of a cozy, albeit sizeable, snuggle partner. Its large blue eyes and expansive wings lend it an angelic appearance, making this dragon more of a soft, lovable companion than a fearsome beast. This unique blend of cuteness and comfort is precisely why my girlfriend finds the Quivern so irresistible. Its charming demeanor and the promise of cuddly companionship resonate with her, making it one of her most adored Pals in the game.

5. Eliphidran

On the subject of cute dragon Pals, the Elphidran emerges as a delightful cross between a whimsical dragon and a majestic giant butterfly. With its charming small arms, cute protruding antennae, magical fairy-like wings, slender neck, and big, soulful eyes, Elphidran captures the essence of cuteness wrapped in the power of a dragon. It might not be as cuddly as Quivern, but Elphidran's allure is undeniable, making it a beloved companion. My girlfriend is especially enchanted by the sight of mounting this gentle giant, floating into the air as its dainty wings beat softly. This magical moment, where fantasy meets flight, crowns Elphidran as an adorably unique Pal in Palworld.

6. Gumoss

When she first stumbled upon Gumoss, she was in stitches, laughing for a good five minutes straight. The creature's beady little eyes and derpy smile instantly won her heart. At one point, she even filled her base with 15 of these creatures, just to watch them bounce around in their adorable manner. For those curious, Gumoss isn't typically this large; the one featured in this image is an Alpha version that I found in a dungeon. I soon lost custody of this creature as my girlfriend's needs outweighed my own.

7. Petallia

Petallia, a Grass Element Pal in Palworld, captivates as the embodiment of a floral kingdom, exuding a flower princess charm with its array of expressive emotions. Adorned with a petal crown that gracefully sways, it has large, curious eyes, a tiny button nose, leaf-shaped ears, and delicate twiggy limbs that elegantly move. The blend of pastel greens and pinks, combined with its whimsical features, transforms Petallia into a symbol of botanical beauty and innocence. According to my girlfriend, its enchanting appearance and playful demeanor make Petallia irresistibly cute.

8. Wumpo Botan

My girlfriend often says Wumpo Botan looks like Totoro took a delightful detour into hippy life, all decked out in lush grass. This big, cuddly buddy sports a charming flower in its ear, reminiscent of Hawaiian hula dancers, bringing a touch of tropical joy wherever it goes. Wumpo Botan, with its endearing chunkiness and gentle demeanor, has quickly become one of her most adored Pals, both for keeping company at her base and joining her in battles. Its lovable quirks and cozy vibe make it an irreplaceable part of her Palworld journey.

9. Kingpaca

My girlfriend's second favorite Pal isn't just any Kingpaca; it's the boss version known as the "Supreme Fluff Commander." While all Kingpacas resemble fluffy royal llamas adorned with crowns, this particular Kingpaca stands out. Located near the Small Settlement teleport statues, it's an early game boss players can encounter, easily distinguished by the two Melpacas trailing behind it like loyal subjects following their king. The combination of its supreme fluffiness and its adorable title of "Supreme Fluff Commander" has captured my girlfriend's heart, making it a cherished favorite among the myriad of cute creatures in Palworld.

P.S. She hasn't found it yet, but there's an icy surprise waiting: the Ice Kingpaca, a cool, blue variation of her beloved fluffy favorite.

10. Relaxaurus Lux

The Relaxaurus Lux, my girlfriend's favorite Pal, dazzles as a thunderous twist on the adorable Relaxaurus, the game's official mascot Pal. This gentle giant, looking like a cuddly dinosaur with stubby limbs and a playful yellow mohawk, wins hearts with its charmingly clumsy antics and paw-like extremities. Its simple yet endearing design makes it irresistibly cute, especially in its rare Alpha form, which she adores most due to its larger size.

Riding around the archipelago on this giant, electrifying companion adds an unparalleled layer of excitement and missile launchers to her adventures. The Relaxaurus Lux, with its rock-star vibe and giant, warm presence, is more than just a Pal—it's her cherished friend on her journey through Palworld!
