Discover the essential Palworld Kikit guide for locating and capturing this adorable Sakurajima creature, a surprisingly vital source of valuable Crude Oil for advanced crafting. Master the art of the catch with high-tier spheres and unlock its unique utility as the ultimate resource companion.

Hey there, fellow Pal-tamers! Let's talk about one of the cutest, and most unexpectedly useful, little buddies you can find in the sun-baked deserts of Sakurajima: Kikit. I still remember the first time I saw one of these armadillo-style pals, just rolling around in the dirt, completely ignoring the world. They've got this vibe, you know? Like they're just happy to exist, basking in the heat and minding their own business. It's been a couple of years since the big Sakurajima update dropped back in '24, and I can honestly say Kikit has become a permanent fixture in my late-game expeditions. They're not the flashiest fighters, but boy, do they have a special place in my heart—and my inventory.

Finding the Elusive Rollerball

First things first, you gotta find them. Kikit calls the sandy extremes of Sakurajima home. My advice? Unlock those fast travel points at North Rock and South Rock ASAP. It's a no-brainer. Once you're there, keep your eyes peeled on the ground. They're the smallest pals in the area, and they usually travel in little groups, which is honestly adorable. But here's the kicker: they are cowards. The moment they sense trouble, they don't fight—they flee. And not just any flee; they curl into a perfect little ball and just... roll away. It's equal parts hilarious and frustrating because, trust me, they can be surprisingly speedy! You'll be chasing a bouncing brown ball across the dunes thinking, "Come on, little guy, just let me love you!"

The Art of the Catch (Hint: Bring the Good Spheres)

Catching them isn't rocket science, but you can't just waltz in with a basic Pal Sphere and expect results. These little guys have settled into their environment and toughened up. Trying to catch a Kikit with a low-tier sphere is like trying to nail jelly to a wall—pointless and messy. Do yourself a favor and pack Ultra Spheres or, even better, Giga Spheres. If you skimp on quality, you might just annoy the whole bunch. And an aggravated group of rolling armadillos? Let's just say it's a uniquely chaotic experience you might want to avoid. Patience and the right tools are key.

Why You Really Want a Kikit: The Oil Baron's Best Friend

Okay, so you've caught one. Now what? Well, let me tell you, Kikit's true value isn't in battle or base building. It's in its... essence. Every time you catch or defeat a Kikit, it drops Crude Oil. And in 2026, Crude Oil is still the lifeblood of advanced crafting. We're talking:

  • Flamethrower Fuel (for when you really need to make a point).

  • Plasteel, the essential material for crafting Ultimate Spheres, the pinnacle of capture technology.

But here's the genius part, the real game-changer: Kikit's Partner Skill, 'Rollin' Full Oil'. This skill is a godsend for any serious resource farmer. Crude Oil normally weighs 0.5 lbs per unit. That adds up fast when you're trying to haul hundreds back to base. With Kikit as your active pal, that weight is significantly reduced. It's like having a dedicated, rolling oil tanker following you around. I've gone on epic harvesting runs across Sakurajima, filling my pockets to the brim, all thanks to my little armored buddy. Without it, I'd be making constant, annoying trips back home. With it? I'm an oil magnate on a desert safari.

Work Suitability & Final Thoughts

Now, let's be real about its base skills. Kikit has a Level 1 Mining suitability. Is it efficient? Not really. There are far better miners out there. But sometimes, efficiency isn't the point. Sometimes, you just want to see something cute work. Tossing Kikit at a rock node and watching it curl up and launch itself at the ore with sheer... enthusiasm... never gets old. It's doing its best!

So, there you have it. Kikit might not be a meta-defining pal, but it's a loyal companion with a very niche, incredibly powerful utility. From its history as a unwilling soccer ball (a sport I'm glad is gone, by the way—poor things!) to its current role as the ultimate oil-hauling companion, it's a pal with personality. In a world of dragons and elemental beasts, never underestimate the humble, rolling armadillo. It just might be the key to fueling your entire late-game operation. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with some sandy dunes and my favorite little tank. Catch you on the flip side!
