Fastest Palworld flying mounts
There are a total of17 flying mountsin Palworld as of writing. Below, we’ve organised these into a tier list based on flying speed to determine which are thefastest flying mountsin the game.
Defeating this beast is pure endgame content, and in order to ride Jetdragon properly, you technically won’t be looking for a saddle on the Technology tree - you’ll need Jetdragon’sMissile Launcher, which unlocks atTechnology Level 50. Get it for the chance to fire rockets from atop Jetdragon’s back, makingyouthe equivalent of an endboss.
Your first flying saddle unlocks at TechnologyLevel 15withNitewing, which is the speediest option in Palworld’s early hours. With their Tornado Attack and Wind Cutter abilities, Nitewings are also great at blasting away land-dwelling Pals, and will remain dependable and respectable steeds until your level reaches the mid-20s.

Once you hit TechnologyLevel 21, you’ll unlock a saddle forVanwyrm, which beats Nitewing ever so slightly in the speed department and delivers a potent blend ofFireandDarkattacks to all contenders. Vanwyrm’s my personal favourite, but if you’re interested in increasing speed and power, go for theHelzephyrinstead.
Fastest Palworld ground mounts
There are a total of41 ground mountsin Palworld, each with different Partner Skill bonuses. Below is a tier list based on mount speed. Here, the S-tier mounts are thefastest ground mountsyou can get in Palworld.
If you’re far into the game, then thePaladiusandNecromusare worth capturing for both their speed and hypermobility. The Necromus is capable of adouble jumpskill and the Paladius is the only Pal in the game that can perform atriple jump(as of writing). Combined with their swift speeds, these Pals will make traversal across Palworld’smapa walk in the park.
The Eikthyrdeer is both fast and obtainable early on in Palworld |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
Out of the tier list, my favourite option for the early tomid-gameis theEikthyrdeer. You can build an Eikthyrdeer saddle at TechnologyLevel 12, and not only do these purple elk sport a striking design, but they also gallop through the overworld with the greatest of ease. Antler Uppercut, a superb skill that makes you run even faster, is also great for demolishing enemy Pals in your line of sight. Once you unlock Technology Level 25, you should capitalise on the opportunity to build theEikthyrdeer Terrasaddle. The Eikthyrdeer Terra is aGroundelement variant that’s even faster than the regular Eikthydeer and can double jump, making your land traversals even swifter.
Surprisingly, theDirehowlis a great and speedy option for early-gamebeginners. The Pal is easy enough to take down (as long as you do not get caught in the middle of a pack) and the saddle to ride it is available at an obtainablelevel 9.
Fastest Palworld swimming mounts
As of writing, there are only3 water mountsin Palworld to help you cross the vast oceans of the map successfully and help you in combat. Below is a tier list based on speed with the S-tier entry being thefastest swimming mountin Palworld.
The king of Palworld swimmers is theAzurobe. This water serpent is not only extremely fast but also boasts stellar abilities, includingDragon Cannonsthat’ll wreck anything in your way. With bothDragonandWaterattacksavailable, it will also apply water damage to player attacks when ridden. This means you can travel in safety knowing nothing will pose too much of a threat.
The Surfent Pal will get you safely across bodies of water |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
For Palworld’s early to mid game, theSurfentis obtainable and has an unlockable saddle at TechnologyLevel 10. It’s a floppy bag of slowness on land, but can cut through the water like butter and make the process of island-hopping much more enjoyable.
Fastest Palworld gliding mounts
The Killamari is one of the few gliding mount options in Palworld |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
There are currently5 gliding mountsin Palworld that act as a glider if you wish to forgo a parachute. With these critters, you can gently glide down from heights without needing to arbitrarily climb down. Below, we’ve organised all the Pals that act as gliders when unlocked. See here for thefastest gliding mountin Palworld.
As you can see from the above table, within the limited glider choice, either theGaleclaworCelarayare the fastest options. Out of these, the Celaray is much easier to obtain and its glider ability can be unlocked at justlevel 7. Comparatively, the Galeclaw glider can only be unlocked at level 23 onwards. Due to this, we recommend the Celaray (which are plentiful across the coastal regions of the Palpagos Islands.
How to make mounts faster in Palworld
The Runner Passive Skill is particularly effective for mounts |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
In Palworld, Pals will be randomly assigned ‘Passive Skills’. These give the Pals a passive buff or nerf and unlike Partner Skills, are not unique to the species of Pal.
Although these Passive Skills are allocated randomly, there are a few mount-specific skills you should keep an eye out for and prioritise if you have more than one species of Pal captured.
The best Passive Skills for mounts are as follows:
If you’re lucky enough to have a Pal with any of the above Passive Skills, it’s worth noting that there is a chance for them to pass these on to their offspring. As such, check out ourPalworld breeding guidefor optimal breeding combinations and secure yourself powerful Pals in the meantime.
