Legendary Pals
Palworld has 6 Legendary Pals, defined by carrying the Legend passive: Paladius, Necromus, Frostallion, Frostallion Noct, Neptilius and Jetragon. All sit at fixed overworld coordinates at Level 60 or above, and Jetragon moved to Sunreach in the 1.0 update. Before hunting one, stock high tier spheres in bulk, max your Statue of Power, and bring biome-appropriate armor plus Pals with the right elemental advantage. Panthalus is a Tower Boss and not a Legendary, and its capture is guaranteed once you drop it.
There are six Legendary Pals, and the game itself decides which: a Legendary is a Pal carrying the Legend passive. That is Paladius (#198), Necromus (#199), Frostallion (#200), Frostallion Noct (#200B), Neptilius (#201) and Jetragon (#202).
Panthalus is not one of them. It is titled "Legendary Ocean King" and gets called a legendary constantly, but its internal tribe is TowerBoss and it does not carry the Legend passive. It is covered at the end of this page because you will hunt it anyway, not because it belongs in the count.
Legendaries sit at fixed overworld locations at Level 60 or above. They serve as top tier combatants and unmatched base workers, and capturing them requires endgame gear, high tier spheres, and a fully upgraded Statue of Power.
Preparation
Before hunting Legendaries, make sure you have:
- Ultra Spheres or Legendary Spheres in bulk (at least 30)
- A maxed Statue of Power (collect Lifmunk Effigies from across the map)
- Endgame armor appropriate to the biome (heat resistant or cold resistant)
- A team of Pals with the correct elemental advantage
- Cooked food and healing items for a prolonged fight
Lower the Legendary's health as much as possible before throwing spheres. Apply a status effect like Freeze or Poison for a further capture bonus. Always aim for the Back Bonus by circling behind the target.
Frostallion (Ice)
Location: the Garden Beneath the Astral Mountains, at (-357, 509). Level 60.
Frostallion is the "Legendary Steed of Ice" and a mandatory capture for players preparing to fight Dragon type raid bosses. Its arena is an open frozen lake surrounded by snowdrifts.
Bring high level Fire type Pals to break through its defensive thresholds. Frostallion's blizzard attacks cover a wide area, so keep moving laterally. A ranged weapon lets you deal consistent damage while your Fire Pals draw aggro.
Jetragon (Dragon)
Location: The Azure Tapestry, in southeastern Sunreach, under the portal, at (-553, -1332). Level 70.
Jetragon moved in the 1.0 update. If you have read that it sits in Mount Obsidian at (-789, -321), that was its pre-1.0 spawn and it is no longer there.
Its ride sprint speed of 3300 is the highest of all 29 flying mounts, ahead of Panthalus at 3000 and Shaolong at 2800, which makes it the most desirable mount for open world exploration.
The ride got cheaper in v1.0.3. Some Jetragon-related technologies moved from Level 79 to Level 70, and the patch cut the materials required for the Pal Gear used to ride it.
Bring high durability Ice type Pals. Jetragon's attacks are fast and hit hard, so recall your Pals frequently to prevent deaths. Focus on sustained damage instead of burst and keep your distance from its dive attacks.
Paladius (Neutral) and Necromus (Dark)
Location: The Furthest Flats, at (440, 679). Level 60.
These two really do share a spawn point, so plan on dealing with both.
Paladius is a Neutral type with no elemental weaknesses except Dark. Bring Dark type Pals to deal bonus damage.
Necromus is Dark, so bring Dragon type Pals to counter it.
Necromus has a strong reputation in the raid meta, and you will see it claimed that its AI deliberately positions itself underneath large bosses to dodge overhead attacks. No source documents any such behavior, so treat it as folklore and not a reason to prioritize the capture.
Frostallion Noct (Dark)
Location: a Level 65 field Alpha in the Deep Sand Dunes at (689, 648), in No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, northeast of the Deep Sand Dunes fast travel point.
If you have seen it placed at a "Sealed Realm of the Glacial Core" around (-1082, -1320), that location appears in no source and the realm name does not exist. It is a desert Alpha, not a glacial one.
A Dark-type variant of Frostallion.
Neptilius (Water)
Location: Isle of the Glacial Core at (139, 651). Level 60.
Introduced in Early Access 0.6.0. This aquatic leviathan carries Watering Lv. 7, not Lv. 4, alongside strong aquatic traversal speeds.
Panthalus (Water), the Tower Boss
Location: the endgame questline, given at the Deserted Islet.
Panthalus is a colossal Water-type whale added in v1.0, and it genuinely is the largest Pal in the game. It is a Tower Boss and not a Legendary, and it gates the "To the World Tree" mission, and that is why it gets grouped with the World Tree content.
Its capture is far simpler than its reputation suggests. Reduce its health fully and it collapses, giving you a window in which the catch is 100% guaranteed. There is no sphere tier requirement, defeating it does not fail the quest, and there is no 0% capture rate to bypass. The Ring of Mercy is a real accessory that caps your damage at leaving 1 HP, but nothing documents it as needed here. The fight does have a 10 minute limit.
v1.0.2 fixed two dedicated server bugs in this fight. All players could be disconnected during the Panthalus battle, and players could crash during it.
v1.0.3 then fixed the fight itself. On some of Panthalus's attacks the wave effect and the actual damage range did not match, so the visual and the hitbox disagreed until this patch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Legendary Pals are in Palworld?
Six: Paladius, Necromus, Frostallion, Frostallion Noct, Neptilius and Jetragon. The game marks them with the Legend passive, and that passive is what defines the group. Panthalus is often counted as a seventh, but its internal tribe is TowerBoss and it lacks the Legend passive.
Where do you find Jetragon in Palworld?
In The Azure Tapestry in southeastern Sunreach, under the portal, at -553, -1332, as a Level 70. It moved there in the 1.0 update, so the older Mount Obsidian location at -789, -321 is no longer correct. Bring durable Ice type Pals and stay clear of its dive attacks.
What do you need before hunting a Legendary Pal?
High tier spheres in bulk, a maxed Statue of Power, endgame armor matched to the biome, Pals with the correct elemental advantage, and cooked food plus healing items for a long fight. Expect Level 60 to 70 targets.
Which Legendary Pal should you capture first?
Jetragon, for the mount. Its ride sprint speed of 3300 is the fastest of all 29 flying mounts and it changes how you move around the map. The often-repeated claim that Necromus positions itself under bosses to dodge overhead attacks is not documented anywhere.
How do you capture Panthalus in Palworld?
Just beat it. Reduce its health fully and it collapses, giving you a window where the catch is 100 percent guaranteed. There is no special sphere requirement, defeating it does not fail the quest, and there is no 0 percent capture rate to work around. Watch the 10 minute time limit.
