Discover the astonishing Palworld giant Anubis glitch and learn how this supersized Pal dwarfs even Alpha and Lucky Pals, sparking wild speculation!
As an avid Palworld player, I thought I had seen it all – from base-building shenanigans to epic Alpha Pal hunts. But let me tell you, nothing prepared me for what I experienced recently. I was just minding my own business, tending to my Breeding Farm, when I looked up and, no kidding, was staring at a colossal Anubis that absolutely dwarfed everything in sight. I mean, this Pal wasn't just big; it was monumentally huge, making the farm structures look like toys. Talk about a glitch that makes you do a double-take!

This wasn't your run-of-the-mill oversized Pal. In Palworld, we're used to two types of giant companions: the fearsome Alpha Pals and the rare, shimmering Lucky Pals. Alphas are like the legendary bosses of the Palworld – tough as nails to catch but pack a serious punch with boosted stats. Lucky Pals, on the other hand, are the shiny hunters' dream, always sporting that coveted 'Lucky' trait but being incredibly elusive. My Anubis, however, fit into neither category. It was just a regular Anubis that had, somehow, hit a growth spurt of epic proportions. Usually, Anubis stands about as tall as my character. This one? Let's just say it could probably peek over small hills.
Naturally, my first thought was, 'Is this for real?' I snapped a screenshot and shared my find online, and the reactions were a mix of awe and skepticism. Some folks wondered if it was just a clever camera angle or if my Anubis was standing on an invisible box. But nope, after circling it a dozen times, I confirmed it was solidly planted on the ground – a fully tangible, gigantic friend. It reminded me of other bizarre glitches I'd heard about, like the see-through giant Arsox, but thankfully, my Anubis was perfectly intact, just... supersized.
This glitch, while not game-breaking, does throw a wrench in the works sometimes. For instance:
-
Base Navigation: Having a giant Pal roaming your base is like having a living monument walking around. It's cool but can be a bit of an obstacle course.
-
Lucky Pal Confusion: Since Lucky Pals are also larger than normal, spotting the actual rare ones becomes a real 'needle in a haystack' situation when you have a glitched giant blending in.
What's truly fascinating is the why. There's no known trigger for this bug. It seems to happen randomly, like the game's code just decides, 'You know what? This Pal deserves to be legendary-sized today.' Some players, myself included, can't help but wonder if this is a peek into a future mechanic. I mean, the game world is dotted with massive statues of Pals, like the iconic Anubis statue in the desert. Could these be Easter eggs, hinting that one day we might be able to raise or encounter truly Giant Pals as a feature? It's a tantalizing thought.
| Pal Size Type | Typical Cause | Rarity & Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Pal | Designated overworld boss. | Rare, high stats, unique moves. A real trophy catch. |
| Lucky Pal | Random spawn with special glow. | Very rare, has the 'Lucky' passive skill. The collector's gem. |
| Glitched Giant (like my Anubis) | Unknown, random bug. | Extremely rare, purely visual (for now). A fun, one-of-a-kind oddity. |
For now, getting a giant Pal like mine is a total crapshoot. While other players are out there grinding to find a Lucky Anubis for that size boost, I just got lucky with a glitch. Until the developers either patch this out or, fingers crossed, officially introduce a 'Giant' mechanic, these occurrences will remain wonderful, unreplicable accidents. Even if the cause is found, turning your favorite Pal into a behemoth on command probably won't be feasible without a dedicated game feature.
So, here I am in 2026, still adventuring in Palworld with my unlikely, gargantuan companion. It's a constant reminder that in early access games, sometimes the most memorable moments aren't the planned ones but the glorious, unexpected bugs that give you a story to tell. Who knows? Maybe one day, 'raising your Pal to giant size' will be a listed feature on the roadmap. But for now, I'll enjoy my larger-than-life Anubis – it certainly makes gathering resources an... interesting experience!
