For optimal production and the best starting combat, utility and mount Pals, see our full list below.
With this, you should have a clear idea of where to prioritise your time and efforts.
Each Pal also has different skills that make them able to work in different structures on your base.

These are also listed so you know which are the best for farming, mining and so forth.
Chikipi
The Chikipi is an adorable chicken creature that you’ll encounter straight away.
If you fight the Chikipi they will drop Eggs and Poultry which you’re able to eat.

As with most games, you’ll recover more hunger if you cook the food at a campfire first.
If you get a few on a ranch at once, they will produce a large amount of eggs.
The process of crafting or cooking will rack up a nice amount of XP.

Foxparks
The Foxparks is an excellent starting Pal for combat and will offer consistent damage.
To get the skill, you must first reach level 6 and craft a Foxparks Harness.
Tanzee
The Tanzee is worth picking up early on due to its sheer amount of skills.

The Tanzee can assign itself to most early game buildings like the Logging Site and Berry Plantation.
With this, the Tanzee essentially guns down enemies in quick succession with a lovely dose of firepower.
This makes the Tanzee suited for both utility and combat.

Rushoar
The Rushoar is a ridable Pal that can be used to travel easier.
Jolthog
Not only is the Jolthog an adorable Pal, but it is highly effective in combat.
This ability alone makes the Jolthog worth pursuing in the early-game regions.

In essence, you could have two Pals involved in combat at once.
You just need to verify you have the Daedream allotted in one of your team slots.
To unlock more workers you must level up your base.

This is a separate system from the player level and can be achieved by fulfilling missions at a Palbox.
Pals will automatically gravitate to tasks they are skilled for.
