Generates a huge tornado of lightning that moves slowly towards the enemy.

Rayhound is a Electric Pal in Palworld with 90 base HP, 100 Attack and 80 Defence. Its strongest base skill is Generating Electricity Lv4, ranking 10 of the 25 Pals with Generating Electricity suitability. It can be ridden at 1150 sprint speed, 32 of 111 mounts.
At full speed, it could be mistaken for a bolt of lightning. When two Rayhounds collide, a thunderous roar echoes through the air.
Rayhound appears in Feybreak and Snowfield at levels 31–58. It can appear in groups of up to 2.
Spawn areas, levels and times come from the game’s own spawner tables. The level range here covers every spawner that lists Rayhound; the map below draws the ones the game places on the main island, so its range can be narrower.
