Where to Find Melpaca
Melpaca are generally found in the early-to-mid game areas of Palworld. They tend to roam in grassy biomes, often grazing peacefully. A good starting point would be the Windswept Hills or areas around the Initial Spawn Point where the terrain is open. They are typically docile unless provoked, making them relatively easy to capture.
