Stats & how they vary

HP70
Attack70
Defense70
Work speed100

Melee 100, Shot 70, Stamina 100. Rarity value 1, Size XS. The four displayed stats use Attack = Shot 70, though its melee is a surprising 100. It is tiny and frail — a worker and utility Pal, not a fighter. Type matchup. Water is strong against Fire, Ground and Rock and weak to Grass and Electric — bring a Grass or Electric Pal to catch it. Work speed 100 is the series default.

The story of Kelpsea

"This Pal's personality is shaped by the water it's born in. Those born into polluted water grow ill-tempered and turn into delinquents."

Kelpsea is nature-versus-nurture in miniature: a blank-slate larva that becomes sweet or sour depending on its cradle. Mechanically it is a starter Water worker — cheap, everywhere, and the base of the Kelpie line whose Fire cousin, Kelpsea Ignis, is where the kit gets interesting.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 9. Fished a tiny sea-dragon out of a pond. Barely bigger than the bait.

Day 10. Watering duty — my plantation stays green now.

Day 12. Its party buff nudges my other Water Pals' damage up a touch.

Day 15. Hatched a Fire one from a Scorching Egg — same larva, very different attitude.
