After a 2025 crossover in Palworld, pals have finally come to Terraria with the 1.4.5 update, Bigger and Boulder. Some of them are an absolute pain to get—looking at you, Foxparks—and I never found the critters in my older worlds. While I did manage to get all of the Terraria pals eventually, it only worked after I generated new worlds.
While I've found all the pals, I'm still testing which strategies you can use to find them most reliably. If you find one under different conditions that I can reproduce, I'll add it here!
Since writing this just days after the update's launch, I've spent my nights testing theories and praying over Water Candle buffs. Cattiva is the "easy" part, while Foxparks had me rethinking why I signed up for this journey. The others were less hassle, but after browsing Reddit, Discord, and Terraria's forums for clues, it seems I'm not the only person feeling ill over pal spawn rates.
I can tell you how to get the Terraria pals using the same setup that led me to success, but keep in mind the spawns aren't guaranteed immediately. You'll have to create those same conditions, then hope for a little RNG mercy.
How to get all of the Terraria pals
Find Cattiva, Foxparks, Digtoise, and Chillet
I got all of the Terraria pals in two fresh 1.4.5 worlds, though they don't seem to spawn in all of the same conditions. You'll find Cattiva and Foxparks on the surface level while Chillet and Digtoise require tunneling underground, sometimes as deep as the cavern layer.
