How to Catch Wumpo Botan in Palworld (Location, Skills & Drops)
Wumpo Botan is the best Hardwood farm in Palworld — 2 to 5 per kill at a guaranteed rate — and its Level 80 World Tree population drops Grass Radiant Gems by the fistful. It also happens to be a rideable mount that makes your whole party immune to the Muddy status. If you have hit the Technology Level 40 wall where the Giga Glider and Metal Bat both want Hardwood at once, this is your answer.

Where to Find Wumpo Botan
Four routes, spanning a wide level band:
- Dustview Coast — the boss variant "Guardian of the Grassy Fields Wumpo Botan" at Level 38, a fixed encounter you can farm.
- Sakura areas — Level 53 – 55.
- The World Tree — Level 80, the materials-rich population.
- Raids and Pal Recruiters — Level 42 – 70.
As with Mammorest, the Level 80 World Tree population is where the drop table changes character: it adds Grass Radiant Gem at 10 – 20 per kill with a 100% rate, plus Ancient Relics across several tiers.
That figure is worth repeating, because most Radiant Gem sources documented across Palworld 1.0's roster drop 1 – 3 gems at a 50% chance. Ten to twenty at a guaranteed rate is a completely different scale of farm.
How to Catch Wumpo Botan
- Bring Fire attackers. Wumpo Botan is pure Grass, and Grass is weak to Fire. Flaracle (850 – 1,075 Attack), Renjishi or Eidrolon Ignis all work.
- Choose your population. The Level 38 boss at Dustview Coast is the cheapest fixed target. The Level 80 World Tree version is for materials.
- Whittle it into the red. At Level 80 it carries 6,500 – 8,180 HP, so this is a sustained fight rather than a burst.
- Bring the right spheres. Ultra or Legendary at Level 38; Sol (58) or Ancient (64) Spheres at Level 80.
- Apply Freeze or a bear trap before committing your best spheres — statuses multiply capture chance.
Skills & Stats
Wumpo Botan's partner skill is defensive and party-wide: while it is with you, you and your Pals take 15~30% less Ground damage and are immune to the Muddy status.
The Muddy immunity is the interesting half. Muddy is a vulnerability marker — Palworld 1.0's Pierdon deals +50~65% damage to Muddy-afflicted enemies with its Power Stone skill — so being immune removes a route by which enemies amplify their damage against you. Combined with the flat Ground reduction, Wumpo Botan is a solid pick for Ground-heavy zones.
Its signature moves:
- Wind Burst (600)
- Solar Blast (450)
- Lawn Bowling (400) — an exclusive skill
- Spine Vine (250)
- Grass Tornado (200)
The full ladder runs Wind Cutter (40), Seed Mine (120), Grass Tornado (200), Spine Vine (250), Lawn Bowling (400), Solar Blast (450) and Wind Burst (600).
At Level 80:
- HP: 6,500 – 8,180
- Attack: 580 – 724
- Defense: 710 – 908
A tanky, low-damage profile — the Defense of 710 – 908 is respectable, but the Attack is among the lower figures at this HP tier. Wumpo Botan earns its slot through utility, not damage.
Where it genuinely shines is base work: Transporting Lv6 is joint-best among the Pals in this bracket, backed by Lumbering Lv5. A Pal that fells trees and then hauls the wood is worth more than its stat line suggests.
It hatches from a Huge Verdant Egg with a CombiRank of 610 — comfortably reachable from mid-tier parents, which makes breeding a realistic alternative to hunting.
Practical tips
- Hardwood at 2 – 5 per kill (100%) makes this the best Hardwood farm in the game. Beats chopping trees by a wide margin.
- Budget 130 Hardwood for Technology Level 40, where the Giga Glider (x100) and Metal Bat (x30) both land.
- Farm the Level 80 World Tree population for Grass Radiant Gems at 10 – 20 per kill at 100%.
- Transporting Lv6 + Lumbering Lv5 makes it a genuinely good base worker, not just a farm target.
- CombiRank 610 is low enough that breeding one is often faster than hunting the Level 38 boss repeatedly.
