Where to get Small Pal Soul in Palworld
13 Pals drop Small Pal Soul, and they are not equal — Wistella gives 3–5 at 100%, which is the best return per kill in the game. Every rate below is the game's own figure.
Each Pal here gives more Small Pal Soul per kill than every Pal that spawns earlier — hunt the highest one you can reach.
Not a speed ranking: spawn density and kill time are not in the game files, so “fastest” is not something this page can prove.

Rate and amount are stated by the game. “Avg per kill” is ours — the rate multiplied by the mean of the amount range — so you can compare a rare big drop against a reliable small one without doing it in your head.
Dungeon-only sources
These drop it too, but do not appear in the overworld — you will only meet them inside a dungeon, so they are not somewhere you can farm on demand.
