32 pairs make Mau in Palworld: 31 of different Pals, plus two Mau. The easiest is Lifmunk (wild, Lv 1–18) with Lamball (wild, Lv 1–5), then Lifmunk + Vixy. It isn’t caught in the open world: breeding is the way to get one.

Its breeding power is 3,040, between Jolthog (3,030) and Lamball (3,050): two parents whose powers average closest to 3,040 make Mau. Lower powers are the rarer Pals.

The easiest pairs

Sorted by how soon you can catch both parents: their lowest wild level, then how common and how hard to catch they are. Each card is one pair to put in the Breeding Farm; open it to see the egg in the calculator.

Shortest chain from early-game Pals

The fewest breeds from a Pal you catch at level 10 or lower, with the easiest partners to catch. Hatch each egg and use the new Pal in the next step.

Start from your own Pals instead in the breeding chain, or plan it with passives in the Breeding path.

Passives

Mau has no passive of its own: a bred Mau inherits up to four from its two parents, at random.

To get the passives you want, pick them in the Breeding path: it finds which of your Pals carry them and the shortest route.

Mutated eggs never hatch Mau

A mutated egg only hatches Pals with a breeding power of 1,860 or lower (lower is rarer). Mau’s is 3,040, too common for any pair’s mutated egg. About 1 in 100 Breeding Farm eggs (1 in 33 with Extravagant Vegetable Cake) is mutated, but never into Mau.

What Mau’s mutated eggs hatch

Two Mau make a mutated egg of 30 Pals, most often Tarantriss (4.9%), Slowatt (4.9%) and Sibelyx (4.9%). With other partners, Mau’s mutated eggs can hatch 62 different Pals. The rarest, with the partner that gives each one most often:

Azurobe Crystwith Aegidron: 100% of mutants, 1 in 33 eggs
Nitemarywith Hartalis: 100% of mutants, 1 in 33 eggs
Palumbawith Eidrolon Ignis: 71% of mutants, 1 in 47 eggs
Nyafiawith Necromus: 53% of mutants, 1 in 63 eggs
Icelynwith Lyleen: 42% of mutants, 1 in 80 eggs
Blazehowl Noctwith Renjishi: 34% of mutants, 1 in 97 eggs
Warsectwith Selyne: 28% of mutants, 1 in 120 eggs
Loupmoon Crystwith Flaracle: 26% of mutants, 1 in 130 eggs

Quick answers

What two Pals make Mau?

32 pairs do, two Mau included. The easiest to set up: Lifmunk + Lamball, Lifmunk + Vixy and Depresso + Chikipi. Any pair works with one male and one female; level and passives don’t change the species.

Where do I catch Mau?

It isn’t caught in the open world. Breed it from the pairs above.

What does Mau breed into?

With other Pals, Mau makes 109 different Pals. The rarest: Bakemi (with Panthalus), Digtoise (with Bastigor) and Bushi (with Jetragon). Two Mau make Mau.

Does gender matter when breeding Mau?

Only that one parent is male and the other female. Which parent is which doesn’t change the egg. A bred Mau is male about 50% of the time.

Can Mau hatch from a mutated egg?

No. A mutated egg only hatches Pals with a breeding power of 1,860 or lower (lower is rarer). Mau’s is 3,040, too common for any pair’s mutated egg. It only comes from the pairs above.

What’s the fastest way to breed Mau from early Pals?

1 breed from Lifmunk: Lifmunk + Lamball → Mau.

What are Mau’s stats at level 50?

At level 50 with IVs from 0 to 100, Mau has 2,500–3,025 HP, 325–392 Attack and 312–391 Defense, before condenser, trust, Statue of Power and passives. An alpha Mau has 2,850–3,480 HP.

What does Mau drop?

Gold Coin ×100–200 (50%) and Leather ×1 (100%). The alpha Noble Glimmer Mau also drops Ancient Civilization Parts ×1–2 (100%) and Precious Claw ×1–2 (100%).
