Friend of Earth is one of the more conditional buffs in the game: +50–65% player Defense, but only while you are sprinting. It rewards keeping moving, which is not how most Palworld fights go — and it is the broadest worker in this batch besides, with four work suitabilities.

The story of Lapiron

"Listens to the earth as it runs, avoiding unstable footing with ease. However, uncooperative terrain will trick it into falling over constantly."

It listens to the ground while it runs and avoids bad footing without looking — and then the Paldeck adds that uncooperative terrain fools it into falling over constantly. A Pal with a genuine superpower and a terrain type that simply defeats it.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

The Defense bonus only applies while sprinting. Easy to forget mid-fight.

Four work chips make it the most employable Pal on Sunreach.

It swims absurdly fast for something this shape.
