Best mounts

115 Pals in Palworld 1.0 can be ridden: 29 fly, 9 carry you across water and 77 run on land. Here they all are, ranked by sprint speed.

Quick picks

Fastest flyer: Jetragon, sprinting at 3300.
Fastest on land: Hartalis, at 1900.
Fastest on water: Neptilius, at 1120.

Speed isn't everything. Stamina decides how long you can sprint or fly before resting, and many mounts have partner skills that boost your attacks while riding or help with gathering. Most mounts also need a saddle or similar gear, unlocked through the technology tree, before you can ride them.

Flying mounts

Flying mounts are the fastest way to explore, and they skip terrain entirely. They're usually mid-to-late game Pals.

Ground mounts

Ground mounts are available much earlier and some have useful extras, like double jumps or faster tree-felling and mining while mounted.

Glider partners

These Pals can't be ridden, but keeping them in your party changes how your glider performs:

Pal	Partner skill
Celaray	While in party, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Prevents fall damage and extends the duration of high-speed gliding.
Celaray Lux	While in party, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Prevents fall damage and extends the duration of high-speed gliding.
Killamari	While in team, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Enables gentle floating while gliding for an extended time.
Killamari Primo	While in team, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Enables gentle floating while gliding for an extended time.
Hangyu	While in party, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Enables slow ascension while gliding.
Hangyu Cryst	While in party, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Enables slow ascension while gliding.
Galeclaw	While in party, modifies the performance of the equipped glider. Enables high-speed gliding and allows shooting with the right hand.

Sprint speed is the Pal's ride-sprint speed from game data. Higher is faster.
