Best Mounts & Flying Pals

Updated 2026-08-07 · 5 min read

A good mount changes how you play Palworld — fast travel, flight and combat mobility. Here are the best flying, ground and swimming mounts, and how to get them.

Best flying mounts

  • Jetragon — the fastest flyer in the game, bar none.
  • Frostallion — extremely fast with excellent handling.
  • Faleris — a strong early-to-mid legendary flyer that's easier to obtain.
  • Shadowbeak — fast, breedable, and hits hard in the air.

Best ground mounts

  • Necromus / Paladius — blisteringly fast legendary ground mounts.
  • Direhowl — a great early-game speed mount that's easy to catch.

Best swimming mounts

  • Jormuntide — a top water mount that also fights well.
  • Neptilius — a powerful Water legendary for sea travel.

Boost your mount with breeding

Breed movement passives like Swift, Runner and Nimble onto your mount for even more speed — see the passive skill guide. Use the calculator to plan the breeding route to any mount above.
