A recent Palworld datamine suggests that a fire-based variant for Chillet might be added to the smash survival game, potentially turning one community fantasy into a reality.
Chillet is the adorable, wingless ice wyrm found in the monster-taming game, and the Pal’s cheek-squishing cuteness has inspired tons of fan art, including an imaginary fire counterpart appropriately called Grillet, which recently blew up in aRedditpost. Chillet chills, Grillet grills.
Chillet’s Pal ID is called WeaselDragon in the game’s files, but now, dataminers have spotted a WeaselDragon_Fire ID as part of the latest update, as well, which you can also see in thePal Database. That naming format matches other Ignis variants in the game, such asJormuntideIgnis, which remixes Pals with new color palettes and type weaknesses.
It seems that the community’s favorite imaginary friend will soon become canon, but Chillet Ignis, or whatever the flaming weasel ends up being called, won’t be arriving alone. The datamine has also found IDs for several other potential variants, too, helpfully listed in a recentRedditpost.
In its extended patch notes, developerPocketpair revealed that it is “planning a larger, more content-packed update for summer"that will introduce new locations “on a new island” and “new Pals.” That upcoming update could definitely be where we see Grillet and a host of other variants pop up.
Elsewhere in the game, the firstPalworld Raid has finally arrived and players are issuing urgent warningsabout Bellanoir to different tamers. Other additions in the latest patch includenew items, abilities, and a wave of quality-of-life fixes.
Tencent is trying to emulate Palworld’s success with cute pet variants and stylized violence.
