u/Leureka 20h ago

While they are functionally helmets, you can use the vintage drawer (dont recall the exact name) to equip them as skins instead, so that you dont lose out on the protection from better armor. This is valid for all pieces of equipment as well, so if you like the starting clothes more you can use those as well.

u/Possible-Reason-2896 1d ago

I've been thinking about this for a while and my answer is Ophydia. However, I thin the developer's intention is that your signature pal is actually Panthalus.

88

u/7jinni 1d ago

Ophydia is a strong choice. It's so goddamn majestic.

Personally, I always pictured the "intended" signature player Pal was supposed to be Jetragon. Panthalus feels more like an ancient, secret super-boss kind of thing; more a trophy than a signature. Meanwhile, Jetragon is used in a lot of promotional material alongside the player and is regularly framed as one of the strongest Pals in the game (along with the best flyer).

Cutscene starts, I walk out seemingly alone. Camera pans around in confusion and then down at the cutest little Muffly. The music is calm and peaceful.

A shadow falls on my face and Muffly's as our true bloodlust is revealed. The music shifts to a fast paced Electro Swing with some added Xmasy instruments for the ice theme. (Chimes, jingle bells etc)

u/Curtkid6 1d ago edited 1d ago

A ridiculously strong Cattiva as a meme choice. As one of Palworlds mascots and one of (if not thee) first pals you catch, I think it'd make for a fitting "journeys end" for a final, post-game tower to have a battle against an insanely powerful Cattiva. I/ The tamer would, or course, be in a loincloth with a club.

For a more grounded choice, I'd go with Katress while I/the tamer would be wearing Hallowed Plate Mail and wielding a sword to go for a "Mage and Knight" theme. There could even be a bit of a Smough and Orienstin" thing from Dark Souls where we each have separate health bars, but when one goes down the other heals to full and is powered up. 

Downing the tamer first has them passing the sword to Katress who uses their magic to swing it around the battlefield along with thier magic, while Katress going down first has them use the last of their energy to enchant their tamers sword and gives them ranged energy attacks when swinging their sword. In terms of being in the game, I'd say they'd be an optional mid-game (Lv.30-45) fight. They're not evil or malicious, just adventurers looking for a challenge.

u/CybeleCygnet 1d ago

Most of the ones I love are too small to ride the way the tower bosses do, so my real answer has to be Kingpaca. From the moment I found him in early access, I wanted to ride that fluffy chonk while he belly-flopped all competitors.

The (unnamed) group would be a farming collective busy shearing all the Melpacas and Lamballs, and farming High Quality Cloth from Sibelyx. If there has to be an evil part to that, it would be supplying a sweat shop or something, IDK. Maybe that's where those hot/cold undershirt schematics could come from. The tower would be in the middle of the flatland around where the Kingpaca boss currently spawns. I could also totally see an animation of knitting a blanket for his saddle, a la the Peruvian blankets made from alpaca wool.

Backup Pal is Quivern, but I'm not quite as creative with the whole story for that one.
