Turtacle Terra is the Water/Ground variant of Turtacle — a gold-shelled version that trades some of its water kit for earth, mines at your base, and hauls your Sulfur and Coal for almost nothing. Same defenceless turtle inside an even tougher shell, now a proper miner.

Partner skill

Shiny Hauler — "While in party, reduces weight of Sulfur and Coal by 80~100%. Also improves player's and Pals' Ground damage to enemy weak points by 80~100%. (Does not stack)." A hauling-and-damage two-in-one for strip-mining fuel or building a Ground team.

Where to find Turtacle Terra

World map · hover to zoom

Turtacle Terra has no easy overworld spawn — it is caught by fishing in the saltwater of the Desiccated Dunes, Eternal Summer Isle and Oasis Isle, or, far more reliably, by breeding (below). It hatches from a Damp Egg and has no Alpha version.

Stats & how they vary

HP85

Attack85

Defense125

Work speed100

Melee 100, Shot 85, Support 100, Stamina 100, Running Speed 320, Sprinting Speed 500. Rarity value 4. The four displayed stats use Attack = Shot 85. Higher across HP, Attack and Defense than the base turtle — 125 Defense is the top of this stretch of the dex. Type matchup. Water/Ground is strong against Fire, Rock and Electric, and weak to Grass — bring a Grass Pal to catch it. Unlike the base turtle, its Ground half neutralises Electric, so it is not weak to 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.

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).

How to get Turtacle Terra

Breeding is the reliable route:

Turtacle + DigtoiseThe unique combination. Turtacle is easy to fish and Digtoise is a common Ground Pal — you can make one without hunting the desert fishing spots.

Terra + TerraBreeds true, for stacking passives on your miner.

The story of Turtacle Terra

"To protect its fragile body, it developed an incredibly tough shell. With most of its senses concentrated in its limbs and shell, it can't even tell if someone quietly touches its core."

The base turtle can be knocked out by a tickle to its soft underside; the Terra fixed that the only way a fortress knows how — by moving its senses out to the shell and limbs, so nothing quietly touching its core even registers. It solved the vulnerability by no longer feeling it. "Golden Fortress" is armour taken to its logical, slightly lonely conclusion: perfectly protected, and out of touch with its own middle. Then it goes and mines your sulfur.

Field notes

— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 26. Bred a Turtacle with a Digtoise. Out came a gold-shelled one, heavier and harder than the blue.

Day 27. Put it at the base — Mining Lv 3. It tears through ore. The base turtle only chipped at it.

Day 30. Carried it while strip-mining for coal and sulfur. Barely felt the weight. The hauling skill is the real draw.

Day 34. Poked its core, gently, out of scientific curiosity. Nothing. It genuinely did not notice. The Paldeck is grimly accurate.

Turtacle Terra, answered

How do I get Turtacle Terra in Palworld?

Breed Turtacle + Digtoise — a unique combination. There is no easy wild spawn; otherwise it is fished in the saltwater of the Desiccated Dunes, Eternal Summer Isle and Oasis Isle, or hatched from a Damp Egg.

Is Turtacle Terra better than Turtacle?

For a base, yes — it keeps the fortress Defense (125) and adds a Ground half that raises Mining to Lv 3 and hauls Sulfur/Coal for free. It also loses the base turtle’s Electric weakness. Its new weakness is Grass.

What does Shiny Hauler do?

While in your party, it reduces Sulfur and Coal weight 80~100% and improves you and your Pals’ Ground damage to enemy weak points 80~100% by level (does not stack).

What is Turtacle Terra weak to?

Grass, because of its Water/Ground typing. Its Ground half neutralises Electric, so it is not weak to it.

What does Turtacle Terra drop?

Aquatic Pal Fluids ×1–2 and Bone ×1, every time (100%).

Was Turtacle Terra renumbered in 1.0?

Yes — it was No. 148B before Palworld 1.0 and is No. 037B now.
