Best Early Mount Pals in Palworld:

Here are the best early and mid game mounts you can get in Palworld, including ground and flying mounts!

Direhowl

Direhowl

Direhowl is a decently fast and stylish early game ground mount. It also has access to the double jump passive.

Eikthyrdeer

Eikthyrdeer

An alternative to Direhowl is Eikthyrdeer, boasting similar double jumping abilities, as well as an active skill that allows you to perform a charging attack. This charge skill, however, can also be used for a free speed boost.

Nitewing-1

Nitewing

This will be your first flying mount, being the lowest level flying mount Pal in the game. While its a pretty slow flying mount, some flight is better than none when you're only just starting out.

Vanwyrm

Vanwyrm

Vanwyrm is your natural upgrade from Nitewing. Vanwyrm is faster, and is far more powerful in combat, able to see you safely through most mid game challenges until end game flying mounts take over!
