The Dark Knight of Legend lives up to its title with a dual jump and the game's strongest Dark movepool. Skills like Twin Spears and Dark Laser fuel relentless aggression, while the Dark element provides wide coverage. Dragon rivals still occasionally trouble this apex predator though.

If Necromus represents Palworld's dark side, Paladius epitomizes the light. With boosted defense and recovery, Paladius outlasts foes with Spear Thrust and other Neutral/Ice attacks. Paladius is weak to Dark Element Pals so watch out for them!

#4: Blazamut

If Anubis embodies the planet itself then Blazamut personifies barely controlled hellfire. Fiery feats like Fire Ball can dominate any Ice element Pal in the game. The Kindling 3 skill and Mining Lvl 4 also help efficiently refine metals for base builders.

Where to Get: Scorching Mineshaft, Specific Breeding

#3: Jetragon

The premier flying mount for aerial domination. Players can rain missiles upon foes while riding Jetragon's back. With mighty Fire and Dragon abilities, plus exceptional mobility, little can withstand this roaming weapon. Jetragon earns its solitary Legendary status.

#2: Jormuntide

Jormuntide appropriately evokes mythic adversaries with its Water/Dragon duality and shocking Stormbringer designation. When not battering enemies with several advanced attacks, mounted players can also exploit Jormuntide's unlimited water mobility - a unique traversal advantage.

If the standard Jormuntide already delivers god-tier merits then Jormuntide Ignis ascends further as a divinity of destruction.
