Loupmoon is a Dark Pal that only comes out at night. For Palworld players struggling to find and catch one, this guide provides some helpful tips.

The best thing about Palworld is, of course, the Pals. These Pokemon-like creatures come in all shapes and forms, and one thing the player might not know is that they can now officially pet their pals. Not only is it cute, but it also has a good use in the game.

Can You Pet Your Pals?

Many fans of the game Palworld might not be aware of this, but yes, it is possible to pet your pals and show them affection that way.

How To Pet Your Pals?

To pet a pal, it’s very simple. Firstly, the player must have a Pal out of their party, or a Pal that’s working in the base. The player must then approach the Pal and open up a menu that will show the petting option.

This menu can be opened by pressing the 4 key on a keyboard for PC, or by pressing on the right analog stick when playing on Xbox. Once this menu is opened and the player is next to a Pal, the option to pet the Pal becomes available, next to other options such as Feeding the Pal or commanding them.

This menu can also be useful for a lot other than petting, so the player should definitely keep it in mind for future use.

Is Petting a Pal of Any Use?

The main reason players might pet their pals is simply just that Pals are adorable creatures. The creatures will reward the player with a big smile, which many players will find heartwarming. So beyond that, the players might not find any better use of this feature.

However, there is indeed another use for petting, and that’s to increase your Pal’s sanity. With each pat, the Pal’s sanity will go up by 1. It isn’t the most efficient way to raise a Pal’s sanity, but it is still something.

Increasing a Pal’s sanity is essential, as with low sanity, these creatures will develop negative status effects, such as depression, and will be less useful overall.

Palworld is now available to play on PC and Xbox.
