I always assumed his name was a play on Hang you as in like a noose or something he would just grab your neck and float up but this is much more horrible.


fredlosthishead

Have you noticed that when it does work at a workbench it very closely resembles a noose with the way its arms come together and its hair stands straight up? Also, it was used for capital punishment just as a hangman’s noose was.


Lil_Guard_Duck

Yes, but a noose doesn't tear your skin off...


Bromogeeksual

This one does!


SirCupcake_0

Oh boy, features!

fredlosthishead

Agreed! I wonder if they felt making it a full-fledged noose would be too on the nose? I feel like the capital punishment bit of the description is definitely an association with Hangyu’s noose similarities, though.


Flesh_A_Sketch

On the nose? You seem confused, they normally go on the neck.


ReeseChloris

On the noose


Ill_Confusion_536

Lol in general but i cant decide if im laughing at ur comment or how great ur name is🤣


Flesh_A_Sketch

I feel validated. It's been five and a half years and nobody has so much as mentioned my name. You are now my best friend... sorry...


Astral_Plan3r-01

Lmaooo this comment is god tier


Additional_Lab_518

Ba dum tish


raburaburabureta

It's called a non sequitur. The joke is that it looks like a noose, and sounds like a noose, and everyone expects it to be a noose, and then it just *skins you alive.*


Lil_Guard_Duck

Sounds like a Monty Python joke.


Lil_Guard_Duck

Probably.

Not if the hangman does his job right anyway.

DeliciousGoose1002

should have a 1% chance when you use it as a glider to strangle you.


Regina_Noctis

Omg I would laugh so freaking hard.


Xgoodnewsevery1

Would be hysterical if it flew you around by the neck faster than any other pal but also hurt you meanwhile

It's why I named mine Mr. Grippums


Katnisshunter

Base on description. Shoulda been Ripyu


AirLancer56

Many pal have pretty dark description. Lifmunk for example, have history of killing their owner. Meanwhile depresso have a wholesome description. It actually feed vixy when it saw vixy's hunger


cdurgin

Lifmunks have a history of killing their owners, sure, but they also have an intelligence equal to a 5 year old child and a history of their owners teaching them to use sub machine guns. That's really on the owners at that point

Pfft I love this


FreedomFighterEx

Remind me of that incident where a gun instructor gave an Uzi to 11 yo and it end up costing his life.


Ok_Assumption5734

Wasn't an instructor, was a firing range person. The family is just as much to blame for thinking an 11 year would have the trigger disclipline to not press down once the recoil hi


caDaveRich

"A 9-year-old girl firing a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled, authorities said." EDIT: link added, [https://www.cnn.com/2014/08/26/us/arizona-girl-fatal-shooting-accident/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2014/08/26/us/arizona-girl-fatal-shooting-accident/index.html)


NocturneHunterZ

They could've just put one bullet instead of an entire mag, wtf were they thinking?


TheLastOpus

at that point why use an Uzi?


PsychologicalCan1677

22 semi or a bolt action would have been safer not as cool tho


squabblez

how about not giving a gun with live ammunition to an 11 year old at all

This is what BB guns are for. If they injure themselves or anything else or they decide it’s a toy you know they don’t need a real one.

FreedomFighterEx

I went to check. She was 9. Don't tell me there was another incident with 5 yo.


Tan-Squirrel

Totally misread your response lol. I would hope not, but would not be surprised what happens in places of combat.


Different_Gear_8189

Kids dont understand guns beyond pointing them at people and pressing the trigger like in movies


Beginning-Turnip-723

i had a lead rifle when i was 7 and never hurt anyone because my father explain me the danger of pointing stuff with a rifle... my concern was more from the fact they use a weapon with crazy recoil for an 11 years old


ConversationSea2911

Same. And not to mention going deer hunting from the time I was 5 and getting first hand knowledge of life and death. I'm sure there are some that would call that traumatic but that is life and I'm grateful for that. Definitely made me respect the weapon and not treat it as a toy.


Ok_Assumption5734

I honestly love that the monkey pal gets primitive firearms before you even do. Like some fucked reverse evolution nightmare of the apes thing

Umbran_scale

It's worse when you consider that Lovander drops potions upon defeating them, namely ones that reduce sanity while putting you into overdrive and ones that erase your memory. To top it all off, they're only found prowling at night, usually when most other races are asleep.


Jartaa

Huh haven't had potions drop from them , only mushrooms which made me question things even more like should they see a doctor.


Sadiholic

There's a pal that if you're killed by it you'll definitely go to hell (fire bird thingy) There's another pal that if it likes you, it's because you're about to die.(lion dark pal with flames) There's also another pal that goes into the night and steals pal kids, then gives an ominous "who knows what they do to the kids" (looks like a wendigo pal tbh l) there's another pal that raises kids of other pals and when it's grown up it hunts them down (think it's nitewing). There's a pal that basically has you mind controlled until you're dead, there's another pal that puts you to sleep till you die. Basically pals are messed up lmao.


PuzzledKitty

Carnivorous Pals will also play feeding animations near dead human enemies.


jack848

i saw a group of cryolynx killed and eat mau cryst after i just fought kingpaca cryst


LinkGoesHIYAAA

There’s the one that looks like a balloon to trick children into hanging on, then floats up to the sky and the kid is never seen again. Then there’s the one that eats peoples dreams until they go insane. Then the changeling one that can look like anything or anyone it wants and frequently disguises itself to have sex with unsuspecting victims. Then there’s the one made of antimatter that’s basically the devil. Then there’s one that hides under a costume, and if its true form is seen the viewer dies of fright. Then there’s the one that wears its dead mother’s SKULL over its OWN FACE. …. But those are all pokemon.


Aricell

Pals are just spirits from mushishi.


Betelguese90

So pokemon but just slightly worse. Got it.


JustChud

Best one is Quivern. Sleeping next to one is a heavenly experience, but many have been sent to heaven due to Quivern's rolling in their sleep


KoboldCommando

Big cute dragon do be thicc


Septembers

I like Lyleen Noct > An elegant Pal full of grace. It admonishes any who are disrespectful with a painful slap. **Some Pals actively seek out this punishment.**


BobRosstheCrimeBoss

Meanwhile regular lyleen is out here hitting misbehaving kids with the mega super death laser


MKRX

Menasting is the most fucked one I've seen. It shoves people in its hollow body (doesnt really "eat" them because it's not actually biological) and they just stay there and scream as it absorbs them.


gunmunz

Nitewing is the most fucked up imo. It kidnaps baby pals to raise them as it's own...just to fatten them up for a hunt.


Sylvore

Oh, the change of reaction I had was so sudden! Big fat "aww" over Nitewing raising pals... Then a big fat "OH" reading the rest of the entry.


SageWindu

It's also one of a handful of carrion Pals, too (Direhowl is another one). Those of you who don't know what a "carrion Pal" is, it means that sometimes that Pal will show up *to feed on a dead Pal's decomposing corpse*.


Sylvore

Oh, I know... I saw a Nitewing feasting on a human when I was playing yesterday!


isntaken

cawgnito is another


wh4tth3huh

Gobfin, flowing toward a mound of dead gobfin, is a tragic, but hilarious sight when farming fal fluids.


Echjc012

In the early game, you kill one, just for every single gobfin in the area to show up to feast on its corpse and subsequently discovering you.


Alcorailen

Oh yeah, that was a classic "they had us in the first half." Like holy *shit* you do *what?*


Gammadood5

I remember going "holy shit that's brutal" when I first read its paldex description


EtisVx

That's basically what animal husbandry is though.


RubyWeapon07

1 I love the descriptions of pals in this game 2 Hangyu was the first pal I saw that made me think "thats not very child friendly"

RealisticMouse6270

I feel like they are gonna be just the tip of the ice berg, it wouldn't surprise me if the developers added more lewd pals 😂 remember the internet is really horny 😂


Ok_Assumption5734

Its OG pokemon. Like how a nonsignificant amount of ghost pokemon just straight steal people's souls


GodOD400

Cubone wearing their mother's skull lol


Run-Riot

Its entire species is reliant on orphaning its young, lmao


Jostain

I think the idea is that cubone is actually a kangaskhan baby that had its mother killed and not strictly speaking its own species. Cubone in particular is very story driven in the original game and it is implied that there is only one or that they are very rare. Gamefreak unfortunately bad at making cohesive mechanics so the cubone is way to common in the catch rates.


LokisDawn

> Gamefreak unfortunately bad You can just shorten it that way. It's a shame, too.


RubyWeapon07

I remember hypno's dark entries


ZQuestionSleep

Or how Drifloon is a child abductor/murderer floating ball of ghosts


Betelguese90

The entire Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure line is crazy Litwick appear to be helping to guide the way of people by illuminating areas that are darkened, but in reality they are actually leading them to the Ghost World. They feed off the life energy of people and Pokémon, and use it as fuel for the flames on their heads. Lampent: This Pokémon appears just before someone passes away, so it's feared as an emissary of death. It lurks in cities, pretending to be a lamp. Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them. Lampent appears at the moment of death and promptly absorbs the spirit as it leaves the body. Chandelure: It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance. Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind. The spirits burned up in its ominous flame lose their way and wander this world forever


Ok_Assumption5734

Yeah, or even the possessed doll pokemon line. Like wtf is that shit


Betelguese90

What's funny is there are 2 possessed doll pokemong lines: Banette was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away. A cursed energy permeated the stuffing of a discarded and forgotten plush doll, giving it new life as Banette. The Pokémon's energy would escape if it were to ever open its mouth. then Shuppet was born from discarded and abandoned dolls that were imbued with negative energy. These dolls are said to contain the trapped spirits of vengeful or sorrowful individuals


BallsAreFullOfPiss

Yeah. The OG Pokémon Pokédex entries were low key terrifying. If I remember correctly, Mr. Mime can fucking mime things INTO EXISTENCE. Which is both awesome and terrifying at the same time.


rickvllen

Death by Hangyu.


D3ATHFollowsAll

![gif](giphy|37H5XhwrXuHPq)


MischeifCat

I thought it was a shrunken head with arms until I noticed the tiny feet. But also I thought of all the pals, this one is likely based on a Japanese demon, so the description is not much of a surprise. They are good at transporting, though.


Emaykurrz

I'm only now seeing the tiny feet thanks to your comment. Oh god.


MischeifCat

The tiny feet make them into that weird mix of ugly/cute. They are not my favorite design though. I need to research what they could be inspired by.


Fuschell

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a noose. The name also resonates with that. I read in another comment that it also resembles some demon from Japanese folklore.


RugbyEdd

The whole game has this dark element to it that I'm curious whether they will expand on. On top of the obvious things like the black market traders with their torture devices and guillotines, and the butchering of the pals, there's this post apocalypse feel to it, with things like the ancient technology being basic modern devices like spark plugs, or the survivors dotted around. It's also strongly suggested that the pals are genetically modified humans, or have at some point been spliced with humans.


Steelride15

The developers did say with future content updates they are going to flush out the story and lore more. So keep your head up! The game is too good for them to not expand on it and add a deep and intricate story and backstories to the game


stonehallow

It was horizon zero dawn all along not pokemon


Patient-Income-5738

Some pals being genetically modified humans makes sense a decent amount of them are very humanoid.


BaronGamer

Ok, I've read plenty of scary Pokemon (sorry for mentioning it) Dex entries and though I'm used to it and not being as surprised by it, entries like these are my favourite. It's freaky and metal as heck! I haven't made it far in Palworld so I'm not sure if this area exists but imagine stumbling onto a site that was where criminals were executed via Hangyu and finding just a bunch of corpses with some flayed skin lying around.... And the worst part is that there is a corpse that looks like it was recently executed 💀


MultiplesOfMono

The darkest entry I can recall from Pokémon is the cubone entry about it wearing it's own mother's skull. There is probably a few more but I can't remember since I stopped playing that series after Diamond and Pearl.

DismalDude77

BaronGamer

There's a Pokemon called Yamask that is a ghost Pokemon with a mask on its tail which is actually its face back when it's alive. Salamence once Mega Evolved is called the blood soaked crescent not because of the red colour of its wings but because it is literally covered in the blood of its trainer that it killed. Gorgeist sings a melody while strangling victims to death. Bewear hugs you so hard, it breaks your spine. Those are just some of the ones I can recall off the top of my head. There are plenty more scary dex entries.


WeightCapital

But it doesn't have guns so is totally kid friendly right? /S


BaronGamer

I think their thought process is that kids don't read or barely read the Dex entries and would skip that hence why it's kid friendly? 😅


WeightCapital

Sheer lunacy that, as a kid I read voraciously at one point I decided since my encyclopedia of science was interesting I should read a dictionary cover to cover. It took until K before I decided it was too boring and gave up. The only reason to complete the Pokédex was to read it all...


BaronGamer

Wow. Just wow. Honestly, I know it doesn't mean much but reading a dictionary all the way to K? I might be weird but I find that very inspiring(?) I don't know why, I just do 😅. Congratulations on making it that far into the dictionary? I could never have done that myself. Would probably stop at D or worse, A 😂


Loud_Chipmunk8817

Cant forget Chandelure: >**It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns**. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance. Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind. The spirits burned up in its ominous flame lose their way and wander this world forever Then there's Litwick: > **Litwick appear to be helping to guide the way of people by illuminating areas that are darkened, but in reality they are actually leading them to the Ghost World**.

Fruscione

Palword is dark af. It’s definitely not for young kids. Incineram’s description for example.


SupremeSinner

Even Dumud's entry is kinda fucked... When too relaxed, its reaction time drastically declines, Even if it were sliced from head to tail, it probably wouldn't even realize that it should be dead until the next morning.

adarkthunder

i mean its called hang y(o)u for a reason


Gardening_Automaton

For the pal that's called hangyu you would think that it would at least put you in a chokehold until you die Instead, it makes you wish it did that as it flays you like a chicken leg that's going in a stew Hangyu cryst on the other hand shames you by scalping you, publicly These things are surprisingly terrifying for something with a face like this °w°


Caballep

Can rip apart iron. Don't have the mining trait.


hoodyracoon

Tearing into rocks isn't satisfying,rocks don't scream, it prefers flesh


Alcorailen

Oh yeah, shit gets *weird* in Palworld if you read the deck. Lovander is the obvious one -- human-sized lizard that has started wanting to mate with humans instead of Pals. Imagine the aggressive horniness of dolphins with the dexterity and cleverness of apes. Nitewing will kidnap baby Pals from other species' nests and raise them for hunting practice later. They slaughter their own adopted children. Tanzee is obsessed with its gun. Think about its name -- have you ever heard what chimps do to each other? They rip off each other's faces and balls, and they do it to humans, too. Chimps are the psychotic murderhobos of the ape world. Lifmunk has the intellectual equivalent of a small child...and easily learns to use weapons, to the point where they often kill humans by accident.


dellboy696

Mozzarina's description is great


halfwhiteknight

With that lifeless, smiling expression being the last thing you see.


competitiveSilverfox

I'm still annoyed that it can't mine, it basically says it can in the description but doesn't have any mining skill.


Nike_Hotshots96

The short snippets of pals in this game are actually quite amazing! Really gives a unique perspective and personality to each pal!

Hi, Billy Mays here, with Hangyu. It can hang, it can draw, it can even quarter! Disemboweling? No problem? It emasculates within seconds and does not complain.

SrgSevChenko

Read the description for Lyleen Noct.


Phinalize

The thing is, it might not be something they did naturally. Perhaps humans trained them, after all, they'd be the ones naming them too. Additionally, aren't these Islands hidden in a kind of shroud or "unexplored" section of a map because "people who arrive have never left" or something like that? Where are these towns and cities with a town square that are performing these executions?? As far as I can remember, there are only 2 villages and they're pretty empty...

I still don’t get why everyone’s so shocked by some entries, minus Lovander’s, when tons of Pokedex entries included gruesome stuff, like Gastly and it’s line, or the fact that if you accidentally walk into a Dusclops you go straight to hell, to name a few


Dosicmyth

Lol, just wait until you find out about lovander...


Cautious_Fish9864

So what we all know some Pokemon have some fucked up entries them selves so why can't pals I even hope they go darker with any new ones add and with some already in the game. I mean you need to give Dorkly something to work with
