# Palworld Predator Pals (EnablePredatorBossPal) (/docs/palworld/predator-pals)



**Predator Pals** are rare, powerful variants that roam the world as tough field encounters (introduced in the Feybreak update). They hit harder and have far more HP than their normal counterparts, and dropping one yields better rewards. Server owners can disable them entirely for a calmer world.

The Setting [#the-setting]

In `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`:

| Setting                 | Default | Description                                                              |
| ----------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `EnablePredatorBossPal` | `True`  | Whether Predator Pals spawn in the world. Set to `False` to remove them. |

```
EnablePredatorBossPal=False
```

Who Should Turn These Off? [#who-should-turn-these-off]

* **PvE / relaxed servers** where surprise high-level ambushes frustrate low-level players.
* **New-player or roleplay worlds** that want a predictable difficulty curve.

Leave them **on** (default) for the intended challenge and better endgame loot.

Applying Changes [#applying-changes]

Stop the server from **Console**, edit the value on the single `OptionSettings` line, save, and start again. Existing Predator Pals already in the world may persist until the area resets.
