The only pair that hatches Necromus
Two Necromus is the only pair that hatches a Necromus egg in Palworld 1.0, so no chain of other species reaches it. Wild ones spawn at level 60.

Gender odds on a Necromus pair
You need two Necromus in the farm at once, one of each gender. Necromus hatches 50% male, so a coin flip either way. Two of the same gender in a breeding farm produces nothing at all, however right the pair is.

Paldex entry
“Once one with Paladius. Its darkened form is the embodiment of negative emotions. However, a glimmer of compassion can still be seen deep within its eyes.”
Necromus is a Dark-type pal whose only entry in the Palworld 1.0 breeding table is two Necromus. No chain of other species reaches it. Once two are in your box, pairing them rolls passive skills rather than producing a species you did not have. Wild ones sit at level 60. Best jobs: Lumbering 6, Mining 6.
Partner skill
Dark Knight of the Abyss. Can be ridden. Can double jump while mounted. When Twin Spears skill is activated, a Paladius in your party will appear and attack alongside you.

The only parent combination for Necromus
Two Necromus is the only pair the Palworld 1.0 table gives, and a pair of them averages to its own breed rank of 190. Opposite genders, cake in the breeding farm, then the egg goes in an egg incubator. You need both in the farm at the same time.
Why an older Necromus combo list won't work
Pre-1.0 guides name a recipe. The 1.0 table works on averages: a pair produces a child when the parents' breed ranks average to the child's, and Necromus sits at 190 with only itself hitting that number. Any older list naming two different species for it is quoting a table that no longer ships.
Ours is the game's real 44,849-pair table, shipped verbatim rather than approximated from the rank formula. The 19,044 figure still in circulation is 138 squared, the pre-1.0 roster of base forms counted as ordered pairs, so it measures something else. One pair shows the difference. Every calculator downstream of palcalc ships Panthalus and Panthalus as breeding true, and the game's own tables prove it cannot, because that pair yields Aegidron.
The shortest breeding path to Necromus
No chain of starter pals reaches Necromus inside six generations, so the first one has to be caught at level 60.
Necromus passive skill odds per egg
Necromus hatches with Legend and Lord of the Underworld already fixed, so only 2 of its four passive slots are ever in play. A parent pool of exactly those 2 lands all of them 60% of the time per egg. Four inherited passive skills is impossible for it, not merely unlikely.
| You want | Parent pool | Per egg | Eggs for 90% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 specific passives | 2 | 60.0% | 3 |
| 2 specific passives | 4 | 10.0% | 22 |
With 2 slots to play with, a junk passive on a parent is a cap rather than a delay. The per-egg column is the chance every passive skill you want lands on the egg, with random extras allowed. The roll behind these numbers is worked through in passive inheritance odds with a fixed passive skill, and the planner ranks the pairs in your own box by them.
Is Necromus worth breeding, or should you catch one?
Catch one, because breeding cannot start it. Necromus spawns at level 60, and no pair of two different species hatches one. Nothing in a starter box reaches it inside six generations.
Breed it anyway once two are in the box. Pairing them rolls passive skills, which is the only thing breeding can still give you here.
Where to find Necromus in the wild
Necromus carries a wild level band of 60 in Palworld 1.0, and no named region on the map has a spawn point attributed to it. There is no alpha to fall back on either. Treat the band as the level to be at, not as a place to camp.
Necromus work suitability and drops
Necromus has Lumbering 6 and Mining 6 in Palworld 1.0, and drops Ancient Civilization Parts and Diamond when killed or caught. Those levels and the drop rows come from our own export of the game's tables.
What Necromus is actually for once it hatches
Lumbering 6 is the job to put it on, mid-table out of a ceiling of 8. See best Lumbering pals for what beats it. Mining 6 sits right behind it, so one Necromus covers two jobs. Rarity 20 of 20 puts it in the legendary bracket, and legendaries do not turn up by accident.
Necromus active skills and partner skill
Necromus learns 10 active skills as it levels, the last at level 70. Its partner skill is Dark Knight of the Abyss. That learnset is our own export of the game's level table, cooldowns and all.

What Necromus breeds into as a parent
Paired with other species, Necromus produces 71 different children, the rarest of them Anubis and Menasting. 69 of those pairings use a partner you can catch in the wild.
Other Dark-type breeding targets
Necromus sits at breed rank 190. The nearest Dark-type targets to it are Lyleen Noct at 220 and Dualith Noct at 250, then 6 more. Breed rank is the number a pair has to average to, so a pair that overshoots Necromus usually lands on one of these instead.
Necromus breeding FAQ
- Can you breed Necromus in Palworld?
- Not from any other species. The only pairing in the Palworld 1.0 table that produces Necromus is two Necromus, opposite genders, with cake in the breeding farm. You have to obtain the first one some other way before breeding is an option at all.
- Can you catch Necromus in the wild in Palworld 1.0?
- Yes, at level 60. Its spawn points do not fall inside any named region on the map. There is no alpha Necromus to fall back on either, so two Necromus in one farm is the only alternative the tables give. Necromus is nocturnal, so hunt for it after dark.
- Are these Necromus breeding combos updated for Palworld 1.0?
- Yes. The game's real 44,849-pair table gives Necromus exactly one entry, two Necromus, and no cross-species pair at all. Older lists naming two different species for it are quoting a table that no longer ships. Panthalus and Panthalus is the usual tell that a list is stale.
- Can Necromus be bred in the early game?
- No. No chain of starter pals reaches Necromus inside six generations, so the first one has to be caught at level 60. Two Necromus is the only pair the 1.0 table holds for it, so breeding is what you do after the catch rather than instead of it.
- Can Necromus inherit all four passive skills from one egg?
- No. Necromus is born with Legend and Lord of the Underworld already fixed, which leaves 2 of its four passive slots for inherited ones. The most you can inherit onto it is 2, and with a clean pool of exactly those 2 that is 60% per egg.
Route this pair from your own save
Pal Hatchery reads your Level.sav in your browser and ranks your own Necromus pairs by the passive skills they would actually pass on.
It reads genders, levels and passive skills off the save, then routes from there. Nothing is uploaded.
