The story of Tombat

"This Pal often appears out of the blue to flaunt its prized wings in front of other Pals. Though it looks like intimidation, it seems to genuinely just enjoy showing off."

Tombat is a show-off, not a threat: it swoops in to display its wings and, apparently, revels in the attention. Behind the theatrics is one of the more useful early Pals — a Mining Lv 3 workhorse whose Ultrasonic Sensor turns exploration into a guided tour of the nearest loot.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 8. A bat-cat that keeps showing up at night just to spread its wings at my Pals.

Day 9. Activated its sensor and it pinged a dungeon I'd have walked right past.

Day 11. Mining Lv 3 — it out-digs everything else I own this early.

Day 14. Solid stats, too: 95/95/80. It holds its own in a fight.
