How each one plays
- As a mountNecromus can be ridden, with a ride sprint speed of 1900. Compare that against your current mount before switching — the number is the same scale across every rideable Pal.
- Combat roleNecromus leans ranged — shot 145 against melee 100. Pair it with the opposite profile so your team covers both ranges.
- Catching itNecromus has a capture rate of 1. Weakening it before throwing still improves the odds, but it does not resist capture the way rarer Pals do.
- Feeding itNecromus has a food amount of 600. Keep the Feed Box stocked before assigning it to a base — a hungry Pal stops working and loses sanity.
- Best base jobIts strongest work suitability is Lumbering at level 6. Assign it there rather than leaving placement to the game, which spreads Pals across jobs they are worse at.
