Gathering Palworld Leather requires you to go on a bit of rampage, but it's an incredibly useful crafting material that you'll need in large quantities. The main way to get it does involve killing Pals, unfortunately, but catching Palworld's denizens can also get you leather, and there's even a way to buy it. If you need to craft things like saddles and armor, here's what you need to know about Palworld leather and which Pals you need to defeat to get it.

Where to find Palworld Leather

Leather in Palworld is a drop from all sorts of Pals when you catch or kill them. Because it mainly drops from certain Pals when they're beaten, there's no way to create leather within your base, unlike Palworld wool and cloth. While there's a longer list, here are all the easiest Pals to find that drop leather when defeated.

  • Foxparks
  • Fuack
  • Eikthyrdeer
  • Direhowl
  • Melpaca
  • Nitewing
  • Fuddler
  • Mammorest

All of these Pals can be found very easily in the starting area, just simply by heading down the path to the Northwest of where you begin at the Plateau of Beginnings. The blue duck Fuack is a particularly good one to focus on, as it also drops Palworld Pal Fluids when defeated, another useful resource used to make relaxing spas for your Pals at the base. Alternatively, leather is also often sold at settlements, though it's common enough as a drop that we don't recommend shelling out money on it unless you're feeling very rich.

Once you have a certain amount of leather, you can use it to make all sorts of things, including armor, feedbags, and saddles you can use to ride certain Pals, including the special Palworld Flying Mounts.
