With the recent Tides of Terraria update inPalworld, exciting new mechanics and Terraria-themed mobs and dungeons have been added. This is far from a small patch—several features are worth exploring, including new mini-islands and, most notably, the introduction of fishing.

Among the Pals you’re able to now catch while fishing is Munchill, a lazy-looking aquatic Pal. According to its Palpedia entry, the inside of its mouth is extremely cold, and its unique enzymes help prevent food from rotting. If you want to catch this unusual Pal, be prepared—mastering the fishing mechanic is key!

Where To Find Munchill

Munchill is a small, four-legged Pal that resembles a blue sea creature. It can be found in multiple locations and appears regardless of the time of day. Although its habitat is marked in several areas on the map,most of these are fishing spots.

One of the few locations where Munchill can be found roaming physically is near the “Sea Breeze Archipelago – Castaway Beach” fast travel point,located in the southern part of the Sea Breeze Archipelago.Once you arrive at this point,head directly southand begin a sea journey. This will lead you to a small, ice-covered island called Frostbitten Isle.

Munchill can occasionally be found on this island.Its coordinates are -58, -964. Additionally, there is a chance to catch Munchill by fishing in the ocean west of the teleporter on the island.

If Munchill doesn’t spawn at Frostbitten Isle, there are other areas worth checking. One alternative location is the Frostbound Mountains. You can fish for Munchillin the frozen lake at the center of this icy region.The coordinates are 203, 78.

Another possible spot is the Isle of the Glacial Core, a small ice island located in the ocean between the northwestern edge of the Dessicated Desert and the northeastern part of the Astral Mountains. Its coordinates are 140, 636.

You can fish for Munchill along the southeastern shore near the fast travel point. There is also an advanced fishing spot on the northern coast of the island. However, keep in mind that Munchill does not physically roam this island—it can only be obtained via fishing.

Lastly, Munchill can also be found alongsome lakeshores and coastlines in the purple-soiled southern region of Feybreak Island.Since the area is quite large, you will need to visit specific fishing spots to increase your chances. Notable coordinates include -1126, -1362 and -1412, -1660.

Note that there is currently no known location in the game where an Alpha Munchill can be found.

How To Breed Munchill

Another way to obtain Munchill isby hatching it from aFrozen Egg. Frozen Eggs can be found while exploring the world. Alternatively, Munchill can also be obtained by breeding specific Pals at theBreeding Farm. The required Pal combinations are listed below:

Items Dropped By Munchill

When you capture or butcher Munchill, you can obtain items such asPal Fluidsand Munchill Meat. Pal Fluids are relatively easy to acquire and can be more efficiently farmed from other low-level Water-type Pals. However, as expected,Munchill Meat can only be obtained from Munchill.

Munchill Meat can be used to craft Munchill Steak. This dish can be cooked at aCampfireor any other crafting station capable of preparing food. Since Munchill Steakdoesn’t require any additional ingredients to craft, Munchill Meat becomes a particularly useful item.

Partner Skill & Work Suitability

Munchill’s partner skill can bequite effective if you’re carrying valuable or high-quality food items.Thanks to its Icy Maw ability,food in your inventory spoils at a slower rate, giving the impression of traveling with a portable refrigerator—especially useful when you’re carrying rare or hard-to-craft meals.

However, if you’re not planning to travel much and will be spending time at your base, Munchill’s partner skill offers little practical benefit. On the other hand, if your base lacks refrigeration or any method to prevent food from spoiling, keeping Munchill in your party can be helpful.

In terms of work suitability, Munchill is relatively versatile. Its suitability levels are as follows:

Cooling

Level 2

As for passive skills, Mastery of Fasting is a strong choice, as it allows Munchill to become hungry less frequently, helping you conserve food more effectively. If you can’t find a Munchill with that skill, Diet Lover is also useful, offering a similar effect by reducing its food consumption rate.

However, there isn’t a passive skill that is exceptionally well-suited for Munchill, so lacking either of these isn’t a major issue.
