Entry · renumbered in 1.0 (was No. 012B)

Jolthog Cryst No. 015B

Ice Size XS Not rideable Bred
◇ Rarity · Common — "Watch Your Feet!"

Jolthog Cryst is the Ice subspecies of Jolthog. Same hedgehog silhouette, icy-blue spines, and a different job: where the base Pal powers your generator, the Cryst cools your base — and its partner skill throws an ice grenade instead of an electric one.

Partner skill
Cold Bomb — equip it to your hand and throw it; on impact it detonates in an icy explosion that damages and can freeze the target. Freeze is the reason to prefer it for catching: a frozen enemy stops moving, so the sphere throw is trivial.

Jolthog Cryst is not a reliable wild spawn. It turns up only as a rare incident — occasionally seen in the field being attacked by a pack of Direhowl — and as a caged Pal in Rayne Syndicate camps. There is no Alpha version.

The dependable route is breeding (below) or hatching a Frozen Egg.

Stats & how they vary

HP70
Attack75
Defense80
Work speed100

Identical to base Jolthog except Defense 80 vs 70 — the only stat that moved. Melee 70, Shot 75. The extra ten Defense does not make it a fighter; like the base Pal, its value is the base job and the grenade. Type matchup. Ice is strong against Grass, Ground and Dragon, and weak to Fire — bring a Fire Pal, which is also the sensible way to survive the freeze if you fight it. Work speed 100 is the series default.

Type matchup · Water
Strong vsFire — Water hits Fire Pals for extra damage.
Weak vsElectric hits Water Pals for extra damage.
HP 70ATK 75 DEF 80WORK 100
Base stat shape — unusually sharp attack for an early Pal.
IVsHidden HP/Attack/Defense rolls, locked in when you catch or hatch it — worth up to +30%. Catch a few and keep the best.
Passives0–4 traits (e.g. Swift, Ferocious, Lucky) — the biggest controllable swing, inherited through breeding. 1.0 adds powerful World Tree passives with trade-offs (e.g. +50% attack for weaker defense).
Mutation 1.0Breeding can rarely hatch a mutated Pal with higher stats and a unique passive skill. Deluxe Vegetable Cake raises the odds.
Awakening 1.0Spend Radiant Gems from the World Tree to push a favourite past its old stat ceiling.
CondenserFuse duplicates for ★1–★4: +5% per star, up to +20% to all stats, and a stronger partner skill.
LuckyPalworld's "shiny": rare, larger, always carries Lucky (+15% work speed & attack).

Work & drops

Work suitabilities
Cooling Lv 1

The swap that defines the variant. Cooling powers your Ranch cooler and refrigeration, and keeps you from freezing when you carry it in cold biomes. Early on, a Cooling Pal is genuinely useful and not that common.

Drops
Ice Organ

Ice Organ ×1, every time (100%) — the Ice counterpart to Jolthog's Electric Organ, an early staple for cold-resist gear.

Partner skill: Cold Bomb

Same grenade design as base Jolthog, different payload.

Thrown burstEquip and lob it; on impact it detonates in an icy explosion.
Can freezeA frozen target is a stationary target — better than the base Jolt Bomb for catching.
ScalesBase explosion power runs roughly 100 → 200 across levels.
Single useThrowing it knocks the Cryst out. Keep a few if you lean on it.

Active skills

An Ice kit with two Neutral detours. Values from palworld.gg (post-1.0).

Lv 1Ice Missile (Ice, 40) — fires a missile of ice straight ahead.
Lv 7Power Shot (Neutral, 80) — fires a concentrated shot.
Lv 15Iceberg (Ice, 120) — raises a spur of ice beneath a target.
Lv 22Power Bomb (Neutral, 120) — drops an explosive burst of energy.
Lv 30Icicle Cutter (Ice, 80) — slashes with a blade of ice.
Lv 40Crystal Breath (Ice, 160) — exhales a cone of freezing air.
Lv 50Blizzard Spike (Ice, 450) — impales a target on a pillar of ice.

How to get Jolthog Cryst

Breeding is the whole point of this Pal:

Jolthog + PengulletThe unique combination, and the only reliable way to make one. Both parents are Common and live in the starting region, so it is cheap. Produces a Frozen Egg; parents must be different genders.
Cryst + CrystBreeds true once you have a pair, for stacking passives.

Your western-Windswept-Hills Jolthog plus a Pengullet from the same shoreline gives you an Ice Pal you would otherwise have to find in a Syndicate cage.

The story of Jolthog Cryst

"It releases the cold air stored in its body when under attack. The frigid blast it radiates is cold enough to freeze the surrounding air and easily pierces through any attacker's body."

The same hedgehog premise inverted: the base Jolthog shocks you, the Cryst freezes you. "Watch Your Feet!" is the Paldeck warning you not to step on the icy one either — a matched pair of jokes about a Pal whose only real weapon is being unpleasant to touch.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 12. Bred a Jolthog with a Pengullet on a hunch. Got a Frozen Egg. Did not see that coming.

Day 13. Hatched an icy hedgehog. Put it on the Ranch cooler. It works.

Day 16. Threw one at a target and it froze solid. Caught the thing standing still. Better than the electric one for catching, and I will die on that hill.

Day 20. Carried it into a cold region and stopped shivering. It cools the base and keeps me warm. Small Pal, two jobs.

Jolthog Cryst, answered

How do I get Jolthog Cryst in Palworld?

Breed Jolthog + Pengullet — a unique combination, both Common and both in the starting region. It has no reliable wild spawn; otherwise it only appears as a rare Direhowl-incident or a caged Pal in Rayne Syndicate camps, or from a Frozen Egg.

What does Cold Bomb do?

It equips Jolthog Cryst to your hand as a throwable; thrown, it detonates in an icy explosion that damages and can freeze the target — freeze makes it a strong catching aid. Using it knocks the Pal out.

Is Jolthog Cryst better than Jolthog?

Different, not strictly better. It swaps Generating Electricity for Cooling Lv 1, has +10 Defense, drops Ice Organ, and its Cold Bomb can freeze. Pick it for Cooling and catching; pick the base Jolthog for power.

What is Jolthog Cryst weak to?

Fire, because of its Ice typing.

What does Jolthog Cryst drop?

Ice Organ ×1, every time (100%).

Was Jolthog Cryst renumbered in 1.0?

Yes — it was No. 012B before Palworld 1.0 and is No. 015B now (wiki.gg: "12b → 15b").
