Discover the captivating Shroomer Noct, the game-changing Dark and Grass type Pal from Palworld's Sakurajima update, an essential nocturnal ally for dominating nighttime adventures and base management. This versatile companion excels as a formidable mount and tireless worker, making it a must-have for any dedicated player.
Let me tell you about my latest companion in Palworld, a real night owl—or should I say, night 'shroom? I'm talking about the Shroomer Noct, this funky dinosaur that showed up with the Sakurajima summer update. Honestly, it's become my go-to Pal for those long, dark hours. While everyone else is snoozing, this little guy is just getting started. It's a Dark and Grass type, which basically means it laughs in the face of Neutral and Ground-type enemies. But more than that, it's the heart of my base when the sun goes down. The regular Shroomer calls it a day when night falls, but not this variant. With its Dark typing, sleep is for the weak, and work is a 24/7 affair. It's even got my back as a ground mount when I need to zip around the early parts of my world. Talk about a multi-talented friend!
The Nighttime Hunt: Finding My Fungal Friend
So, where do you find this creature of the night? I spent a good few evenings searching before I got the hang of it. Your destination is the Mushroom Wetlands on Sakurajima Island. But here's the kicker: you've gotta go at night. I mean, it's in the name, right? Noct? My first few attempts were during the day, and let me tell you, it was a complete waste of time. Nothing but regular mushrooms and the occasional disappointed sigh from me. The spawn rate is totally tied to your server's day-night cycle settings. If your nights are short, you'll need to be quick and maybe a bit lucky.
The best advice I can give? Head to the southwestern waypoint on the island, or trek north from Forgotten Island or Ice Wind Island. And don't go empty-handed! These nighttime dwellers don't mess around. I learned that the hard way once, losing a bunch of items because I brought a weaker Pal along for the ride. Bring your A-team, or your midnight stroll might end very abruptly.
Building a Family: Breeding the Perfect Noct
Once you've caught one, you might want more. Breeding is the way to go, and in 2026, the community has really nailed down the best combos. According to the latest info from Palworld.gg, one of the coolest methods involves the new Raid Boss, Bellanoir. If you're lucky enough to catch one, try breeding it with a Cattiva. The result? A medium-sized Dark egg that will hatch into your very own Shroomer Noct. Just pop it in an incubator and wait for the magic.
There are other reliable recipes too. The community has shared some great pairings:
-
Cremis + Bellanoir (A classic for a reason) -
Vanwyrm + Croajiro (A bit more accessible early on) -
Relaxaurus + Nox (For when you have some heavier hitters available)
Breeding is half the fun, honestly. It's like a little genetics project, but with more dinosaurs and mushrooms.
The Midnight Shift: Why Shroomer Noct is a Base's Best Friend
This is where Shroomer Noct truly shines. While I'm off adventuring or finally catching some Z's myself, my base is in good hands—er, spores? Its Work Suitabilities are a perfect blend for self-sufficiency:
| Work Suitability | Level | What It Means for My Base |
|---|---|---|
| Planting | Lv. 2 | Keeps the farms growing strong. |
| Handiwork | Lv. 1 | Handles basic crafting and repairs. |
| Lumbering | Lv. 2 | Chops wood all night long. No deforestation slowdown here! |
| Gathering | Lv. 2 | Collects everything from the farms and woods. |
And the best part? It just... keeps going. No bedtime, no breaks for the sunrise. It's the ultimate graveyard shift worker. Plus, it's not a picky eater. With only a three-food requirement, it's super sustainable. I just keep a stock of 
Baked Berries in the Food Box, and it's happy as a clam. Well, a happy, working, fungal dinosaur.
A Bitter Harvest: Understanding Its Drops
Now, I'm not one for butchering my Pals—we're a team! But it's good to know what resources they represent in the world. If a Shroomer Noct is slain or butchered, it provides two key items:
-
Venom Glands: Useful for crafting various poisons and antidotes.
-
Mysterious Mushrooms: A versatile resource used in everything from advanced medicines to... let's just say, explosive artillery purposes. It's a reminder that even this helpful buddy is part of a wild and dangerous ecosystem.
So there you have it. My experience with Shroomer Noct has completely changed how I manage my Palworld life in 2026. It turned my base from a daytime operation into a 24-hour production powerhouse. Finding it was a challenge, breeding it was a project, but putting it to work? That was a game-changer. It's more than just a Pal; it's the reliable, nocturnal engine of my little corner of the world. If you're still on the fence about hunting one down... what are you waiting for? The night is young, and so is your base's potential.
