Bushi Noct

Bushi Noct is a Fire / Dark Pal in Palworld with 80 base HP, 130 Attack and 80 Defence. Its strongest base skill is Lumbering Lv5, ranking 9 of the 63 Pals with Lumbering suitability.

Its body becomes a blade upon death, to be taken up by the next generation. If the Bushi who inherits it has a weak heart, the voices of the dead will drive it mad. The madness turns it into Bushi Noct that endlessly wanders.
