Dupin arrived with the Palworld 1.0 update on July 10, 2026, and despite a Paldeck entry built around cloning and illusion, it is a Fire-type rather than a Dark one. It sits at No. 176 in the Paldeck, works well as a base helper, and carries a Partner Skill that trades your own health for extra damage.
Quick answer: Catch Dupin as a wild spawn in the World Tree region, hatch it from a Large Scorching Egg, or breed it using a pair such as Panthalus × Grizzbolt or Knocklem Ignis × Wumpo.
Dupin type, stats, and drops
Dupin is a pure Fire Pal, which means Water attacks hit it hard while Ice and Leaf Pals should stay on the bench. Its base numbers are modest, but its work spread makes it useful around a base long before you reach the endgame.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Paldeck No. | 176 |
| Element | Fire |
| HP / ATK / DEF | 100 / 110 / 100 |
| Work Suitability | Kindling Lv. 7, Handiwork Lv. 5, Medicine Production Lv. 4, Transporting Lv. 2 |
| Drops | Leather, Flame Organ |
| Rideable | No |
Kindling at Level 7 is the standout trait, so Dupin pulls its weight at furnaces and cooking stations. Since it cannot be ridden, keep it in the party for fights or assign it to base work rather than exploration.
Where to find Dupin
Dupin roams the World Tree during both day and night, and it also appears at scattered points on the main map, including Mount Obsidian, the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Isle of the Circular Ruins. Its spawns are inconsistent, so plan on searching the area rather than expecting a fixed nest.
The World Tree is late-game territory packed with hostile Pals, so bring strong gear before heading in. Wild Dupin can spawn at high levels and will resist capture, so soften it up first.
Tip: Because Dupin is Fire-type, take a Water Pal such as Jormuntide, Azurobe, or Surfent into the fight for a clear type advantage.
How to breed Dupin
If you would rather not fight for one, breeding is the reliable route. You need a Breeding Farm, a Cake in its box, and a male and female parent from any of the pairs below. If you already own a Dupin, pairing two of them always produces another Dupin, which is the simplest option once you have your first.
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 |
|---|---|
| Beakon Cryst | Faleris Aqua |
| Bellanoir | Azurmane |
| Knocklem Ignis | Wumpo |
| Ghangler | Frostallion |
| Panthalus | Grizzbolt |
| Ghangler | Neptilius |
| Univolt Cryst | Faleris |
Panthalus × Grizzbolt is one of the more approachable pairs since neither parent locks behind the very end of the game. As an alternative to both fighting and breeding, a Large Scorching Egg can hatch into a Dupin, and placing the incubator near a heat source such as a Campfire speeds up hatching.
Breeding other Pals with Dupin
Once you have a Dupin, it becomes a useful parent for several other species. Note that swapping which parent is Dupin can change the result, so match the order in the table.
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 | Child |
|---|---|---|
| Dupin | Mycora | Wumpo Botan |
| Dupin | Panthalus | Solenne |
| Dupin | Loomen | Whalaska |
| Beakon Cryst | Dupin | Silvegis |
| Dupin | Renjishi | Blazamut |
| Dupin | Solenne | Blazamut |
| Dupin | Wistella | Frostplume |
Dupin’s Partner Skill explained
Dupin’s Partner Skill, Trick-Loving Fluffle, is built for high-risk combat rather than utility. While Dupin is in your party and your health drops below 50%, it sets off a Fire explosion around you with a Power of 100 and a large Burn buildup of 777.
On top of that damage, your Attack rises by 30% for as long as you stay under the 50% health line. That makes it a strong option against endgame bosses if you can manage a low health bar, but the bonus does not stack, so keeping more than one Dupin in the party adds nothing.
Dupin active skills
Dupin’s move list is entirely Fire and every attack applies Burn, so it scales cleanly as it levels. Its exclusive skill, Trickster Show, arrives at Level 70 and summons two illusions before launching fire birds from its top hat.
| Skill | Power | Cooldown (s) |
|---|---|---|
| Spirit Fire | 80 | 4 |
| Ignis Breath | 160 | 8 |
| Flame Wall | 250 | 12 |
| Flame Funnel | 300 | 16 |
| Volcanic Rain | 450 | 20 |
| Ignis Rage | 500 | 24 |
| Fire Ball | 600 | 30 |
| Trickster Show | 700 | 30 |
Between its Kindling work rating, a versatile Fire kit, and a Partner Skill that rewards aggressive play, Dupin is worth the trip into the World Tree or a few rounds at the Breeding Farm once you know the pairs that produce it.
