Palworld: 12 Fastest Flying Mounts To Have

Pals—whether on land, in water, or soaring through the skies—are essential for exploring the vast Palpagos Island and the surrounding regions in Palworld. While ground pals excel in close-range combat, flying pals offer a significant advantage for aerial exploration and defeating enemies from a safe distance. Their versatility makes them an ideal choice for both adventure and combat. In this guide, we have highlighted 12 of the fastest flying mounts in Palworld to help you save time, dominate battles, and uncover every corner of this expansive world.

12. Nitewing

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	150
Walk Speed	150
Run Speed	600
Ride Sprint Speed	750
Transport Speed	450
Elemental Type	Neutral

In the early stages of Palworld, you will encounter plenty of ground mount options, but Nitewing is likely to be your first flying mount. While it does not boast the fastest flying speed compared to some mounts featured later in this guide, Nitewing excels in vertical exploration, making it a solid choice for reaching higher terrain with ease.

With a decent 750 Ride Sprint Speed, Nitewing simplifies traversing challenging landscapes and venturing into unexplored regions. Even if you do not rely on this pal for regular travel, it is highly useful for base transportation. Nitewing’s speed outclasses most of the ground mounts that you will already have, making it as the best early-game flying mount in Palworld.

How to Get Nitewing in Palworld

Nitewing is one of the easiest flying mounts to acquire in Palworld. These flying pals are abundant in early-game areas like Fort Ruins, Flying Fish Coast, and near the Rayne Syndicate Tower. Since these regions are Level 1–15 zones, you can explore them shortly after acquiring Spheres, which are essential for capturing pals at low health.

Once you have crafted a few Spheres, you can begin your search and easily capture a Nitewing to kickstart your flying adventures.

11. Vanwyrm

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	100
Walk Speed	350
Run Speed	700
Ride Sprint Speed	850
Transport Speed	475
Elemental Type	Fire, Dark

Flying mounts are typically chosen for their speed over ground mounts, but what happens when you encounter hostile pals or human NPCs? That is where Vanwyrm proves to be a significant upgrade from Nitewing.

Vanwyrm’s partner skill, Aerial Marauder, boosts the damage you deal to enemy weak points while mounted. This makes it an exceptional choice not only for flying to explore new areas and gather resources but also for raiding bandit camps or capturing rare pals in Palworld. Its versatility truly sets it apart, especially during the early game.

Additionally, if you have captured multiple Vanwyrms, they can be assigned to your base to handle Kindling and Transport tasks, making them valuable even beyond combat and exploration.

How to Get Vanwyrm in Palworld

Vanwyrm, on the other hand, is a bit trickier to capture compared to the widely available Nitewing. You will start encountering Vanwyrms in the Bamboo Groves region, a Level 10–20 area where they are reasonably common.

However, the best place to find a large population of Vanwyrms is in the Mount Obsidian region. They are often seen on the outskirts of the mountain and along Dry Sandy Beach, located south of Mount Obsidian.

Keep in mind that capturing a Vanwyrm while you’re below Level 10 can be challenging. You will need stronger pals in your party and at least one Mega Sphere to have a reasonable chance of capturing it. Standard Spheres are far less effective and will likely result in repeated failures when attempting to tame a Vanwyrm.

10. Quivern

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	120
Walk Speed	240
Run Speed	800
Ride Sprint Speed	950
Transport Speed	470
Elemental Type	Dragon

Quivern, a dragon-type pal, is the next step up from Vanwyrm as a flying mount. Dragon-type pals are known for their ability to deal significant damage to a wide range of enemies, making Quivern highly desirable, especially for tackling mid-to-late-game regions.

However, to ride Quivern, you will first need to craft the Quivern Saddle, which unlocks at Technology Tree Level 36. Once equipped, Quivern becomes invaluable for exploring areas like Mount Obsidian, Verdant Brook, and the Astral Mountains. Not only does it allow faster exploration of these regions, but its combat potential ensures you are well-equipped to handle tough encounters along the way.

How to Get Quivern in Palworld

Quivern pals can be commonly found in the Wildlife Sanctuary, Mushroom Islands, and the Southern Sandbar of Sakurajima Island. To reach Sakurajima, head west from the Astral Mountains, and you will arrive at its shores.

Since Quivern is located in Level 40+ areas, it is highly recommended not to attempt capturing one if you are below this level. First, under-leveled stats will leave you vulnerable to hostile pals and human enemies in these regions. Second, capturing Quivern requires at least Ultra Spheres or Legendary Spheres, as lower-tier spheres like Giga Spheres will have almost no chance of success, even when the pal’s health is critically low.

9. Helzephyr

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	100
Walk Speed	100
Run Speed	700
Ride Sprint Speed	1100
Transport Speed	450
Elemental Type	Dark

When you eventually capture Helzephyr, you will notice a significant boost in speed compared to Quivern. Helzephyr, a dark-type pal, is perfect for mid-game exploration and offers an impressive bonus by enhancing your character’s dark damage while mounted.

To maximize Helzephyr’s potential, you will need to unlock and craft the Helzephyr Saddle, available at Technology Tree Level 33. Helzephyr also boasts fire-based active skills, making it particularly effective against enemies in regions like the Astral Mountains and Frozen Coral Hill. This versatility ensures it remains a top-tier choice for both combat and exploration.

How to Get Helzephyr in Palworld

Unlike most pals in this list that can be captured during the day or night, Helzephyr is a nighttime pal, which means you will not find it roaming the designated habitat during the day.

But the good news is that you can go and capture a Helzephyr as early as level 15 – 20. To get this done, look for this pal at night in the Crecent Moon Shore, Verdant Brook, and Frostbound Mountains regions. You will find plenty of Helzephyr pals there. Also, make sure to bring Giga Spheres at least to get a 100% capture chance.

8. Beakon

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	100
Walk Speed	200
Run Speed	750
Ride Sprint Speed	1200
Transport Speed	375
Elemental Type	Electric

While ground pals like Univolt can supply electricity to your base early on, you will eventually need a more versatile option. That is where Beakon shines as the best of both worlds—it is one of the fastest flying mounts and can also provide electricity for your base.

Beakon is a significant upgrade over Helzephyr, offering improved walking and Ride Sprint speeds. While the speed boost is not monumental, it is enough to make a noticeable difference, especially when navigating challenging regions like Mount Obsidian or Dry Sandy Beach. The added mobility helps you avoid dangerous encounters with tough pals often found in mid-to-late-game areas.

How to Get Beakon in Palworld

Beakon is a Level 30+ flying pal that was originally exclusive to the Desiccated Dunes region, where a large population could be found to the north. However, with the release of the Sakurajima content, Beakon pals are now also available on Sakurajima Island. You can spot them primarily in the Northern Rock Field, located north of Sakura Shrine.

Capturing a flying pal like Beakon can be trickier than capturing ground-based pals. Ensure you are equipped with enough Hyper Spheres to maximize your chances. If you miss your throw, having extras on hand will save you from the hassle of returning to your base to restock. Focus on weakening the Beakon before attempting to capture it for better success.

You could also get lucky with a Large Electric Egg, but you’ll have to get really lucky. It’s far more reliable to head for Sakurajima Island.

7. Ragnahawk

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	100
Walk Speed	200
Run Speed	800
Ride Sprint Speed	1300
Transport Speed	375
Elemental Type	Fire

For players looking to inflict devastating fire damage, Ragnahawk is an excellent choice. As a fire-type pal, Ragnahawk offers impressive flying speed in Palworld and excels against enemies vulnerable to fire, such as those in cold regions or grass and ice-type pals. Its fire-based abilities are as effective as they are visually stunning, allowing you to deal extra damage to all but fire-resistant targets.

When mounted on Ragnahawk, all your attacks gain fire damage, which can be a game-changer. When you’re up against a pal with a weakness to fire, Ragnahawk makes quick work of the fight, combining incredible flying speed with powerful fire damage to eliminate threats efficiently. It is a must-have companion for tackling tough regions and foes.

How to Get Ragnahawk in Palworld

Ragnahawk, one of the best fire-type flying mounts in Palworld, is commonly found in large colonies in the Mount Obsidian region. The western side of this area, with its abundance of lava-spewing holes and higher temperatures, is where Ragnahawk pals are most abundant.

Additionally, Dry Sandy Beach to the south of Mount Obsidian is another hot climate area where Ragnahawk can be found. To explore these regions safely, you will need at least Heat Resistant Level 2 armor to avoid taking damage from the extreme temperatures.

When capturing Ragnahawk, bring Hyper Spheres for the best results, especially when it is at low health. Lower-tier spheres like Giga Spheres will give you a harder time capturing this powerful pal.

6. Suzaku/Suzaku Aqua

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	100
Walk Speed	200
Run Speed	850
Ride Sprint Speed	1100
Transport Speed	450
Elemental Type	Fire (Suzaku), Water (Suzaku Aqua)

Suzaku is an extra-large fire-type pal in Palworld that, while not as fast as Ragnahawk in Ride Sprint speed, compensates with its sheer size and impressive flying capabilities. Its massive body dwarfs most enemies, allowing it to cover long distances quickly despite a slower sprint speed.

Unlike the typical cute pals you encounter, Suzaku boasts a menacing appearance with its fierce expression and aggressive build. When mounted, Suzaku amplifies your fire-based attacks significantly, with its elemental boost reaching up to 100% at Level 5 of its partner skill.

This makes it a devastating choice against fire-weak enemies, combining overwhelming firepower with excellent flying speed to dominate both combat and exploration.

How to Get Suzaku in Palworld

While most fire-type pals are commonly found in the volcanic region near Mount Obsidian, Suzaku, despite being a fire-type pal, resides in a completely different habitat. You can find Suzaku pals roaming the Duneshelter area in the desert region.

To get there, head east from the Astral Mountains or northeast from the Frostbound Mountains. Once you reach the desert, you should spot plenty of Suzaku pals in this area.

To capture a Suzaku effectively, make sure you bring several Legendary Spheres. This extra-large pal is notoriously difficult to capture with lower-tier spheres like Hyper or Ultra Spheres, so using Legendary Spheres will give you the best chance of capturing one.

5. Shadowbeak

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	80
Walk Speed	80
Run Speed	850
Ride Sprint Speed	1200
Transport Speed	465
Jump Velocity	700
Elemental Type	Dark

Shadowbeak is a legendary-tier flying pal that stands out for its exceptional Ride Sprint speed in the large-size category. As a dark-type pal, it enhances all dark-based attacks when you are mounted, making it a powerful ally in combat.

If Suzaku’s intimidating presence commands attention, Shadowbeak takes it a step further with its sleek, jet-black body color and glowing green eyes that exude a truly fearsome aura.

This pal is made for flying and exploration purposes rather than base tasks, Shadowbeak is ill-suited for chores, as it can only perform Level 1 gathering tasks—something any common pal can handle. To make the most of Shadowbeak, keep it in your party for combat or exploration, especially when venturing into new regions like Feybreak Island. This pal is not meant to sit idle; it is built for action and adventure.

How to Get Shadowbeak in Palworld

Legendary pals typically inhabit unique, specific locations, and Shadowbeak in Palworld is no exception. You can only find Shadowbeak in the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, a Level 40–45 area.

Before venturing here, ensure your character is at the appropriate level and equipped with the best armor and ranged weapons. Otherwise, the high-level hostile pals in the area or even the Shadowbeak itself could easily overwhelm you.

To maximize your chances of capturing Shadowbeak, weaken it until its health is below 5%. Then, use a Legendary Sphere on a weakened pal for a near-guaranteed capture. This method is the most reliable way to secure one of the best legendary flying pals in Palworld.

4. Faleris/Faleris Aqua

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	150
Walk Speed	200
Run Speed	1000
Ride Sprint Speed	1400
Transport Speed	500
Elemental Type	Fire (Faleris), Water (Faleris Aqua)

Faleris is another fire-type pal that surpasses Shadowbeak in nearly every flying speed metric and is also significantly easier to capture. As an epic rarity pal, Faleris boasts a unique partner skill: when battling Ice-type pals together, defeated enemies drop additional items, making it a practical choice for farming resources.

With its striking fire-orange coloration accented by golden touches, Faleris exudes elegance and power while flying in the air. It is easily one of the best flying pals to have in Palworld, especially for players between levels 35 and 40.

Unlike Shadowbeak, Faleris can also be assigned to Level 3 Kindling tasks at your base, further increasing its versatility and desirability in the game.

Faleris Aqua is a water-variant of Faleris with identical flying stats. The only difference lies in its elemental alignment, offering the same utility and performance as its fiery counterpart.

How to Get Faleris in Palworld

Faleris, despite being a fire-type pal, does not inhabit the typical hot regions. Like Shadowbeak, it resides exclusively in the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary. To find this location, start at the Deep Sand Dunes fast travel point (coordinates 528, 526) and head northeast. You will spot an island in the distance, which you can reach easily with a water-type or flying pal.

Since Faleris is a fire-type pal, it is essential to bring a water-type pal to effectively counter it during combat. Once you have weakened Faleris, use Hyper Spheres to capture it and add this impressive pal to your Paldeck collection.

3. Frostallion/Frostallion Noct

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	120
Walk Speed	120
Run Speed	1000
Ride Sprint Speed	1500
Transport Speed	440
Jump Velocity	800
Elemental Type	Ice (Frostallion), Dark (Frostallion Noct)

While Faleris and Frostallion share almost similar flying speed stats, Frostallion stands out with its unique Jump Velocity, which allows it to transition from ground to air much faster—something Faleris cannot match.

Frostallion, a legendary-tier pal, is an end-game pal in the game. It comes equipped with some of the best active and passive skills needed for tackling end-game bosses. Once you unlock the Frostallion Saddle at Technology Level 48, it transforms your attack type to Ice and enhances Ice-based attacks while mounted, giving you a significant edge in combat.

In addition to its combat capabilities, Frostallion is one of the rare pals that can provide Level 4 Cooling at your base. This ability is essential for preserving cooked food and preventing it from spoiling.

How to Get Frostallion in Palworld

Frostallion, another legendary-tier flying pal, is also exclusive to a single location in Palworld. To prepare, ensure you have Cold Resistant Level 2 armor and powerful ranged weapons like a Rocket Launcher or Assault Rifle.

To locate Frostallion, start at the Land of Absolute Zero fast travel point (coordinates -239, 492) and travel west. You will come across a frozen lake with a Frostallion roaming near large ice formations. Approaching it will trigger a boss fight, so be ready for a tough battle.

Since Frostallion is an end-game flying mount, you will need Legendary Spheres or an Ultimate Sphere to maximize your chances of capturing it. Without these, the capture process becomes significantly harder. If Frostallion dies during your attempt, you will have to repeat the entire fight. Be well-prepared to avoid this frustrating setback.

2. Xenolord

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	100
Walk Speed	200
Run Speed	1700
Ride Sprint Speed	2700
Transport Speed	-1
Elemental Type	Dark, Dragon

Xenolord is an end-game pal introduced in the Palworld Feybreak major content update. Acquirng Xenolord is an achievement in itself, but to unlock its full potential, you will need to craft the Xenolord Saddle, which becomes available at Technology Level 60—firmly placing it in the end-game content. Once equipped, Xenolord becomes one of the most formidable flying mounts in the game.

This pal boasts the highest flying speed of all the pals mentioned earlier in this list. With its large frame and menacing appearance, Xenolord is a Dark and Dragon-type powerhouse. Its aggressive active skills make it devastating in aerial combat, and its unmatched flying speed is the cherry on top.

How to Get Xenolord in Palworld

Xenolord is a raid boss of the Feybreak island and there is no way you can capture it. Instead, you will need to summon and defeat Xenolord to acquire it as a pal. For detailed steps, refer to our guide on how to summon and defeat Xenolord to speed up your progress.

Defeating Xenolord provides a chance to obtain a Legendary Huge Dark Egg. Once you have secured the egg, return to your base and place it in the Egg Incubator. When the egg hatches, there is a high likelihood it will produce a Xenolord pal, making all your efforts worthwhile.

1. Jetragon

Stats	Description
Slow Walk Speed	600
Walk Speed	800
Run Speed	1700
Ride Sprint Speed	3300
Transport Speed	1250
Jump Z Velocity	2000
Elemental Type	Dragon

Jetragon is a base-game pal that remains unparalleled for its sheer flying speed. Known for being the fastest pal in Palworld, Jetragon is ideal for quickly traveling from point A to B. Once you reach Level 50 and manage to capture it, this legendary-tier pal will also impress you with its devastating array of aerial abilities.

Jetragon’s partner skill, Aerial Missile, allows you to fire a rapid missile launcher while mounted. To unlock this feature, you will need the Jetragon Missile Launcher, available at Technology Level 50. Due to its legendary status, Jetragon is best suited for high-level players (Level 48+) prepared for both combat and the challenge of capturing it.

Additionally, Jetragon’s extra-large size and remarkable 3,300 Ride Sprint Speed make it the ultimate choice for traversing vast regions quickly from the air. Whether you are racing across a map or engaging in high-stakes combat, no other pal rivals Jetragon’s speed and power.

How to Get Jetragon in Palworld

Jetragon is a level 50 legendary-tier flying pal and the fastest mount in Palworld. However, it can only be found in a single location.

To locate it, head to the Beach of Everlasting Summer fast travel point at coordinates -803, -565, which is west of Mount Obsidian. From there, travel north to spot the Jetragon roaming the area.

Capturing Jetragon is one of the most challenging tasks in Palworld. You will need to reduce its health to below 10%, which is no easy feat given that it is a level 50 boss. Attempting this capture before reaching a comparable level is nearly impossible.

To improve your chances, bring high-damage weapons like legendary rocket launchers and assault rifles. Additionally, ensure you are stocked with Legendary or Ultimate Spheres, as these offer the best odds of a successful capture.

That is everything you need to know about the fastest flying pals in Palworld and how to get them. For more tips about the game, we recommend you check out our How To Get Predator Cores, How To Get The Katana, and How To Get Ancient Civilization Core in Palworld guides.
