1 pal drops Copper Key in Palworld 1.0. The early farm is Leezpunk at ×1 per kill, wild from level 21. One source, one rate, and it is the rate the game rolls.
What drops Copper Key in Palworld
Exactly one pal drops Copper Key in Palworld 1.0: Leezpunk, ×1 per kill. There is no second source anywhere on the drop table, so that fight is the item.
Copper Key is the copper-tier chest key. Gold Key and Silver Key do the same job off the same dropper, so check which one a recipe asked for before you spend it. Leezpunk is Dark-type with 80 attack, wild between level 21-40, and 108 parent pairs breed one if hatching it beats hunting it. Leezpunk's alpha row carries it as well, so an alpha kill pays the same item as an ordinary one.

Where to farm Copper Key early
Leezpunk is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1 per kill, wild from level 21, which puts it well before the mid-game. It is nocturnal, so this is an after-dark job and daylight is wasted time.
Leezpunk drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×1-2, Precious Entrails at ×1-2, Leezpunk Crest at ×1. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Copper Key. Leezpunk's densest spawn is Desiccated Dunes, 327 points at level 28-36, after dark. Killing pals is not the only route: Copper Key is in the field chest loot pool at about 21% per chest.
It opens the locked chests you have been walking past, and the tier of the key has to match the lock. Keys are consumed on use, so the count you hold is the number of chests you can open.
