108	Paladius		Holy Knight of the Firmament
109	Necromus		Dark Knight of the Abyss
110	Frostallion		Ice Steed
111	Jetragon		Aerial Missile

Legendary Pals will naturally have the Legend Passive Skill. These are powerful and rare Pals, such as Paladius and Jetragon, that are found across the map and in remote locations.

No Pattern Yet for Random Legend

Currently, there is no known pattern yet for randomly obtaining the Legend Passive for non-legendary Pals.

This means it is exclusive to the fixed Legendary Pals themselves and children inheriting the Passive Skill from them.

Steps for Passing Legend to a Pal

Legend Inheritance Steps
① Catch and prepare a Legendary Pal ② Breed the Legendary Pal Ⓐ with any Parent to make Legendary Pal Ⓑ ③ Breed Legendary Pal Ⓑ with another Parent to make Legendary Pal Ⓒ

Example for a Legendary Grizzbolt

①	Parent Ⓐ: Paladius (Legend) Parent Ⓑ: Foxparks ┗ Child Ⓐ: Rayhound
②	Child Ⓐ (as Parent): Rayhound (Legend) Parent Ⓒ: Mossanda ┗ Child Ⓑ: Grizzbolt (Legend)

The Passive Skill Legend will be inherited by the child based on probability. Please remember that this does not mean that the skill inheritance is 100% guaranteed.

How are Passive Skills Inherited?

Randomly Inherit 0-4 Passives from Parent

Each Pal has four (4) Passive Skill slots that can be occupied.

Currently, it is confirmed that up to four (4) Passive Skills can be inherited by the child Pal from the passive skills pool of the (2) two parent Pals.

List of All Passive Skills

You Can Also Inherit All Passives

It has been confirmed that it is possible to inherit all four (4) Passive Skills from a parent. Therefore, there is a total of 0/8 chance to inherit from two (2) parent Pals with 4 Passive Skills each.

Random Passives Occupy Empty Slots

If there are three (3) or less passive skills inherited from a parent, the remaining empty slots have a probability of being assigned a random Passive Skill.

Higher Chance to Inherit Passives from the Male Parent

Passive Source	Passive Inheritance Percentage
From Male Parent	24%
From Female Parent	20%
Random from Both	21%
No Passives Inherited	34%

The numbers above are from our own testing after hatching 100 eggs from the same parent.

After hatching around 100 Pals from eggs, our team determined that passives are more likely to be passed from the Male parent. When aiming for that specific passive, make sure to get it from the male parent to have increased odds.

Unfortunately, the odds that the offspring won't inherit any passive skill is still the highest.

Both Parents Having the Passive is Not a Guaranteed Inheritance

If both parents have the same passive that you want to pass on to the offsprings, it still does not guarantee passive inheritance. After hatching 100 Pals, our team found out that the passive skill is only passed on 46% of the time with a 33% chance that no passives will be inherited.
