Palworld Leather is a crafting material that players will need a lot of, but there's no way to actually create the stuff within your base - instead, you have to go and find it in the world around you. This makes it different to the process by which you find Palworld wool and cloth, but don't worry, it's not too difficult to get once you know how, actually being a drop from certain enemies - a lot of enemies, as a matter of fact. Here's how to find leather in Palworld, and what Pals you need to beat 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, and 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.
