Every Lifmunk spawn, and what level each patch is

All 259 mapped Lifmunk points. Unlike the other starter Pals its level band changes by region, so the pins below are labelled by level rather than by size.

The route
1Choose the patch by level, not by distanceAll three patches are cheap to reach. Fortress Ruins holds the level 1 to 9 points, Windswept Island 5 to 9, and the Sea Breeze Archipelago 4 to 14 with almost 100 points in it.259 points across 3 level bands
2Leave Fire Pals at homeLifmunk is pure Grass, so a Fire partner will delete it before the sphere lands. Anything Neutral or Water keeps the fight slow enough to catch.Grass, takes extra from Fire
3Throw a basic Pal SphereEven the level 14 spots in the Sea Breeze Archipelago land on a basic sphere often enough. Bring a couple of Mega Spheres only if you are hunting the top of that band.Basic 7, Mega 14 capture power
4Put it to work before you think about fighting with itLifmunk covers Planting, Handiwork, Gathering, Lumbering and Medicine Production, all at level 1. Medicine Production in particular is scarce this early.5 work suitabilities, all level 1
Take this with you

4 alternatives checked against the wild catch route
Egg hatchGood odds
Verdant Egg, one of only three results

The Bamboo Groves pool inside a Verdant Egg holds just 3 outcomes, so a third of them are Lifmunk. That is far better than the 1 in 10 the Common Egg pools give the other starters.

DungeonNo level gain
Cavern alpha, levels 10 to 13

Five cavern presets field an alpha Lifmunk at 10 to 13. For most starter Pals that beats the wild cap, but Lifmunk already reaches 14 in the Sea Breeze Archipelago, so all you gain is the alpha flag.

BreedingSituational
Pairs that make a Lifmunk

A short list compared to the other early Pals, and every pair is a guaranteed result. Use it to move passive skills onto a Lifmunk, not to get your first one.

Pal cagePointless
Grass cage preset, levels 1 to 10

Lifmunk is 1 of 17 possible captives in the Grass cage preset across 7 camps, at levels 1 to 10. Since that is the same band the open world hands you for free, there is no reason to fight a camp for it.

1 of 17 possibleLv 1 to 10Same as wildShow caged Pals on the map →
◆A Lifmunk Effigy is not a Lifmunk. Our map records 140 objects carrying that name, and they are a collectible that happens to be shaped like the Pal. Picking one up will never give you a Lifmunk.
◆Low Grade Medical Supplies only drops from 20 percent of catches. Wheat Seeds are the guaranteed drop, so treat the medical supplies as a bonus rather than a farm.
◆Grass takes extra damage from Fire. A Foxparks or Rooby in your party will kill Lifmunk faster than you can throw.
Why bother
Lifmunk has the widest work spread of any Pal you can catch in the first hour: five suitabilities at level 1, including Medicine Production, which almost nothing else early can do. Its partner skill is a genuine weapon too, riding on your head and firing a submachine gun for 20 seconds on a 120 second cooldown.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you find Lifmunk in Palworld 1.0?

On 259 mapped points across the Sea Breeze Archipelago, Windswept Island and Fortress Ruins. The archipelago holds 98 of them and is the only patch reaching level 14.

Is a Lifmunk Effigy the same as a Lifmunk?

No. They are two different things that share a name. Our map carries 140 Lifmunk Effigy objects as a separate collectible category, and none of them gives you the Pal.

What are the odds of hatching Lifmunk from a Verdant Egg?

The Bamboo Groves pool has only 3 outcomes, so Lifmunk is a third of it. The Large Verdant Egg version of that pool has 8 outcomes and the alpha flag, which drops it to under 3 percent.

How does Lifmunk Recoil work?

It is an activated skill, not a passive. Lifmunk leaps onto your head and fires a submachine gun for 20 seconds, then goes on a 120 second cooldown before you can use it again.

What jobs can Lifmunk do at base?

Planting, Handiwork, Gathering, Lumbering and Medicine Production, all at level 1. Nothing else you can catch in the first hour covers five jobs, and Medicine Production is the rare one.
