How to breed Mau in Palworld

The earliest pair is Lifmunk + Vixy: both parents can be caught by Lv 1.

• Lifmunkwild Lv 1–14 near Small Cove
• Vixywild Lv 1–13 near Sea Breeze Archipelago - Castaway Beach

1. Catch a male and a female parent: one Lifmunk and one Vixy.
2. Build a Breeding Farm at your base and put both Pals on it.
3. Put a Cake in the farm's box. The parents lay an egg in that box.
4. Hatch the Dark Egg in an Egg Incubator: it is a Mau.

No gender rule applies here: any male and female of the parent species work, in either order. The cake does not change the species. It changes the eggs: a Vegetable Cake lays 2 eggs per breeding, an Extravagant Vegetable Cake raises the mutation chance from 1% to 3%, and a Special Cake makes inheriting several passives (up to 4) much more likely. See the mutation calculator and the passive odds tool.
