Anubis is one of the strongest Ground type Pals in Palworld, and one of the easiest to recognize thanks to its jackal head and towering build. This Anubis Palworld guide covers exactly where to find it, how to catch the Alpha version, every breeding pairing that works after the 1.0 World Tree update, and its full stats, skills, and best passives. Whether you want Anubis for base work or your combat squad, here is everything you need to know.
What Is Anubis in Palworld?
Anubis is a Ground element Pal known for its high Attack stat and elite crafting ability. Once treated as a symbol of nobility in the game’s lore, it eventually became a token of death, and today it stands as one of the most dependable Pals for fighting Alpha bosses and running a busy base at the same time.
Anubis Location in Palworld: Where to Find It
| Spawn Type | Location | Level |
| Wild Anubis | Sandstone Gate Islet, with scattered spawns inside the World Tree region | Varies |
| Alpha Anubis | Twilight Dunes | Level 55 |
Since the Palworld 1.0 World Tree update, Anubis spawns in the wild around Sandstone Gate Islet, with a handful of additional sightings scattered inside the World Tree itself. If you want a guaranteed, high level catch, head to Twilight Dunes instead, where a Level 55 Alpha Anubis patrols the same open ground both day and night.
If you played Palworld before the 1.0 update, you may remember Anubis sitting in the desert flats near the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant. That spot is still marked in a few older guides, but the current build has moved its main territory, so use Twilight Dunes if you are playing on the latest patch.
How to Catch Anubis?
Grass beats Anubis every time, so build your capture team around Grass type Pals before you go looking for it.
- Bring strong Grass attackers such as Dandilord, Lyleen, or Silvance to melt through its health bar quickly
- Anubis hits Electric types hard, so leave your Electric Pals at home for this fight
- Come in around level 40 to 45 or higher, since this is an Alpha encounter
- Pack at least a Hyper Sphere, though an Ultra Sphere gives a far safer catch once its HP is low
- Watch for the red ground markers before its bigger attacks and dodge roll clear of them
How to Breed Anubis in Palworld?
Breeding recipes for Anubis changed with the 1.0 World Tree update. If you have seen older guides pointing you toward Penking and Bushi, that combo no longer produces Anubis. Here are the pairings that currently work in the Breeding Farm.
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 |
| Azurmane | Univolt Cryst |
| Dupin | Elgrove Cryst |
| Dandilord | Fenglope Lux |
These pairings all call for Pals from the newer parts of the map, so most players will find it quicker to simply catch the wild Alpha instead of chasing down every parent. Anubis also hatches from a Huge Rocky Egg, which occasionally turns up as a loose egg while you are out exploring desert and World Tree terrain, so keep an eye out as you travel.
Before you commit to breeding, remember the basics:
- Build a Breeding Farm and keep Cake stocked in its feed box
- Place one male and one female parent inside. Two Pals of the same gender will never produce an egg
- Move the resulting Huge Rocky Egg into an Egg Incubator to hatch it into Anubis
Anubis Stats, Skills & Partner Skill
Base Stats
| Stat | Value |
| HP | 120 |
| Attack | 130 |
| Defense | 100 |
Anubis carries some of the best raw Attack in the game for a Ground type Pal, which is why it still holds a place on plenty of combat teams even now that the level cap sits at 80.
Partner Skill
While Anubis fights beside you, this skill switches your own attacks to the Ground element and gives you a solid Attack boost that grows stronger as the skill ranks up. It also gives Anubis a chance to dodge incoming hits with a quick sidestep mid fight.
Active Skill
| Level | Skill | Type | Power |
| 1 | Stone Blast | Ground | 80 |
| 7 | Power Bomb | Neutral | 120 |
| 15 | Sand Tornado | Ground | 200 |
| 22 | Spinning Roundhouse | Ground | 300 |
| 30 | Forceful Charge | Ground | 400 |
| 40 | Ground Smash | Ground | 500 |
| 50 | Rock Lance | Ground | 400 |
| 55 | Sand Twister | Ground | 500 |
| 70 | Rocky Impact | Ground | 600 |
Ground Smash and Spinning Roundhouse are Anubis exclusive moves, and both hit hard enough to carry it through most Alpha fights on their own.
Anubis Work Suitability & Best Passive Skills
- Handiwork Level 6, the highest tier available, which makes Anubis one of the fastest crafters you can assign to a base
- Mining Level 6
- Transporting Level 4
Put simply, Anubis is a one Pal solution for a base that needs crafting and mining covered at the same time.
Best passive skills to breed onto Anubis:
- Artisan: boosts Work Speed, great for a base focused build
- Musclehead: a large Attack boost paired with slower Work Speed, best suited to a pure combat build
- Ferocious: a straightforward Attack increase with no downside
- Burly Body: extra Defense to help it survive longer boss fights
- Earth Emperor: boosts Ground element damage specifically, a natural fit for Anubis’ own moveset
Anubis Drops & Rewards
Standard drops from a normal Anubis:
- Bone
- Large Pal Soul
- Innovative Technical Manual (rare drop)
The Alpha version adds these to its loot table:
- Ancient Civilization Parts
- Precious Entrails
- Ring of Earth Resistance +2
A higher level Anubis encountered inside the World Tree area can also drop Ground Radiant Gems and Ancient Relics, both of which feed directly into the Awakening system if you want to push its stats even further.
Is Anubis Worth Getting in Palworld?
Anubis has earned its spot on nearly every team list since the earliest weeks of Early Access, and that has not changed. Few Pals let you cover mining, crafting, and genuinely tough boss fights without swapping your roster around, and that alone makes the trip to Twilight Dunes worth it.
