Penking — Palworld Paldeck No. 018
Where to find Penking in Palworld and beat the Sealed Realm boss, its Brave Sailor partner skill, Emperor Slide exclusive move, mount and swim, work suitabilities, stats and drops.
Penking No. 018
Penking is the Water/Ice Pal at No. 018 — the first properly imposing Pal in the early dex, and the first real boss most players fight. It is a rideable mount that sprints on land and swims fast across water, a five-suitability base worker, and the tribe boss guarding an early Sealed Realm.
Where to find Penking
Penking’s wild habitat is the No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary on the southern edge of the map, day and night — but sanctuaries carry a wanted penalty, so most players meet Penking as the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings boss, a short walk from the Windswept Hills teleporter.
It can also be fished around Verdant Brook and the Astral Mountains, and hatches from a Large Damp Egg.
Region: No. 1 Sanctuary / Sealed Realm boss · Time: day & night · Threat: aggressive
Stats & how they vary
Melee 70, Shot 95, Swim Speed 810. Game8 ranks it mid-tier (HP #99, Attack #101, Defense #87) — a real jump over the 70-stat starters, which is why it feels like a wall the first time you fight it. The four displayed stats use Attack = Shot 95. A genuine early combatant as well as a mount. Type matchup. Water/Ice is strong against Fire, Ground, Grass and Dragon, and weak to Electric (Water half) and Fire (Ice half) — bring an Electric Pal to the boss. Work speed 100 is the series default.
Work & drops
Five suitabilities at Lv 2–3 make Penking a base powerhouse, not just a mount — Mining Lv 3 in particular clears ore fast. palworld.gg lists Mining/Transporting at Lv 3; Game8/wiki at Lv 2.
Ice Organ ×1–3 (100%) and a Penking Plume (50%) — a mid-game crafting material. The boss version drops richer (Ancient Civilization Parts, Precious Pelt, a rare Feathered Hair Band schematic).
Partner skill: Brave Sailor
A loot multiplier for hunting Fire Pals.
Active skills
A Water/Ice kit with an exclusive slide. Values from palworld.gg (post-1.0); Game8 lists lower numbers.
How to breed Penking
Penking hatches from a Large Damp Egg and is a common, useful breeding parent. The easiest way to get one is simply to beat the Sealed Realm boss — no combo needed.
Where it matters as a parent for this stretch of the dex:
The story of Penking
"Surprisingly, it is unrelated to Pengullet. However, since this Pal gets pampered as it pleases, for now, it's doing its best to strut arrogantly."
The Paldeck goes out of its way to tell you the obvious-looking thing is false: the big regal penguin is not a grown-up Pengullet. It just looks the part and has decided to lean into it — a pampered show-off strutting for anyone watching. "Pioneer of the Frozen Sea" is the title it gave itself; the flavour text is the game gently noting it has not quite earned it.
Day 9. Walked into the Sealed Realm feeling confident. Met a penguin the size of a door. Left less confident.
Day 11. Came back with an Electric Pal. The penguin was weak to it. The penguin is now mine.
Day 12. Rode it into the sea and it swam faster than I have ever crossed water. The map just got bigger.
Day 18. It mines, waters, hauls, crafts, cools, and carries me across the ocean. I have never asked one Pal to do so much. It struts about it, and honestly it has earned the strut.
Penking, answered
Where do I find Penking in Palworld?
Its wild habitat is the No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary in the south, but most players fight it as the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings boss near the Windswept Hills teleport. It can also be fished around Verdant Brook and the Astral Mountains, or hatched from a Large Damp Egg.
How do I beat the Penking boss?
Bring an Electric Pal — Penking's Water half is weak to Electric — and keep moving to avoid its Ice attacks. It is an early-game boss, so a solid team around your level handles it.
Is Penking a mount?
Yes — you can ride it on land and, more usefully, swim on it fast, making it one of the earliest good ways to cross open water.
What does Brave Sailor do?
While Penking is in your party, Fire Pals drop 40~80% more items when defeated (by level). It does not stack.
What is Penking weak to?
Electric and Fire, because of its Water/Ice typing.
What does Penking drop?
Ice Organ ×1–3 (100%) and a Penking Plume (50%).
Was Penking renumbered in 1.0?
Yes — it was No. 011 before Palworld 1.0 and is No. 018 now.
