How to breed Necromus
Necromus is a breed-true Pal in Palworld 1.0. It cannot be produced by mixing two different species, whatever the formula says for other Pals. Catch your first Necromus in the wild or from its raid or boss encounter, then breed two Necromus together — one male and one female — to get more, and to hunt for better passives.
Your first Necromus comes from a catch, not a pair. Do not spend Cake trying random pairs for Necromus: the pair list below will show only the same-species pair, and that is the correct answer. Once you have two, the breeding work is passive hunting, not species hunting.
Why players breed Necromus
Players breed Necromus because it is a Legendary endgame Pal. Its value is in the role it fills once you have it, and in the passives you can roll by breeding same-species pairs repeatedly. That is a long grind, and it should only start after you have a working base and a steady Cake supply.
After it hatches, the work is not over. Breed again from the same pair, or from two of the same species, to improve passives. Keep the offspring with the passive combination you want, and use that keeper as the next parent. Species first, passives second, stats third — that order saves Cake.
What changed in 1.0 for Necromus
Palworld 1.0 rewrote the breeding table, so any pair list dated before July 2026 may be wrong for this Pal. The pair list on this page is calculated from the 1.0 dataset used by the calculator, not copied from an old guide. If a pair you remember from before 1.0 is missing from the list, that pair no longer gives this Pal in 1.0.

Breeding tips specific to Necromus
Catch your first Necromus, then breed Necromus + Necromus. It pairs with Paladius in the legendary set: both cover Deforesting and Mining, with different combat typing. No cross-breed route exists in 1.0 data.
Can I breed Necromus from other Pals?
No. Necromus is breed-true only in Palworld 1.0: catch one first, then breed Necromus + Necromus.

Can I breed Necromus from two common Pals?
Only if the pair list below shows such a pair. For breed-true Pals the answer is no — you need a catch first. For formula Pals, use the pair list and pick a pair you can actually make.
How many parent pairs give Necromus?
The live pair list below shows the count for this Pal in 1.0 data. Filter it by a Pal you own to find your shortest route.
Do I need Cake to breed Necromus?
Yes. One Cake in the Breeding Farm chest produces one egg, whatever the Pal.
