Understanding Pals Size Guide
I ran into this recently when trying to figure out creature scaling in Palworld, and it turned out to be more frustrating than it needed to be. The Pals Size Guide isn't some official document you can just download and print. What exists out there are community-maintained spreadsheets, wikis, and fan charts that try to map Pal sizes, weight stats, and scaling multipliers. You'll mostly find these on the Palworld wiki, Steam community hubs, and Discord servers. If you're looking for the Pals Size Guide specifically, your best bet is the Palworld Fandom wiki's stats pages, which have tables breaking down base size values for each Pal species. There's also a well-known community spreadsheet that tracks height-to-weight ratios across all current generation creatures — search for "Palworld Pals Size Guide spreadsheet" on Google and the top results are usually the ones people actually use.
Pals Size Guide Download
There isn't an official downloadable file from Playgendary or Pocketpair. Everything you'll find online is third-party. The most practical resource I've used is a Google Sheets doc that lists every Pal with columns for base height, base weight, and size tier. I copied it into my own sheet and added formulas to calculate size multipliers based on individual Pal scaling, which is where things get messy. Each Pal has a base size value assigned by the game, but your individual Pal can deviate from that base. The size multiplier affects how much damage it deals, how much health it has, and how much weight it can carry. A size 1.2 Pal will be noticeably larger and stronger than a size 0.8 one, all else being equal. The catch is that size is determined at birth and cannot be changed afterward. There's no equipment or ability that modifies your Pal's size multiplier. This means if you're breeding or hunting for a specific build, size matters from the start and you're stuck with whatever roll you got.
Here's what people miss when they're just looking at the raw numbers: the size multiplier applies multiplicatively to base stats, not additively. So a 1.5x size doesn't mean your Pal has 50% more HP — it means 50% more on top of whatever the base stat already is, and then other bonuses stack on top of that modified value. The math isn't intuitive and the wiki tables don't always make that clear.

Edge Case That Annoyed Me
My T-Rex had a size of 1.18, which looked fine on paper. But when I compared its actual in-game model to a friend's T-Rex at 1.05, the difference was much more pronounced than the numbers suggested. The visual scaling isn't linear — smaller differences at lower size tiers produce bigger visual gaps than the same numeric difference at higher tiers. I ended up cross-referencing screenshots with the spreadsheet and built a quick spreadsheet of my own that mapped size values to actual pixel height in the game, which took maybe twenty minutes and saved me from doing dozens of unnecessary hunts. People often assume all Pals scale the same way with size. They don't. Larger Pals like Rex or Grinto get more meaningful stat benefits from size multipliers than smaller utility Pals like Chillet or Nox. If you're optimizing for a specific role, ignoring this can lead you to waste resources on a high-size Pal that underperforms compared to a slightly smaller alternative in the same tier. Another thing: size values display differently depending on whether you're looking at the Pal's detail screen versus the team summary. The detail screen shows the multiplier to two decimal places. The team summary rounds differently, which has caused confusion in community debates about which individual Pal is actually bigger.
Limitations
The community resources are unofficial and not always up to date. When new Pals get added or the game patches stat changes, those wikis and spreadsheets lag behind. I've seen multiple cases where a Pal's base size value was listed incorrectly for weeks after a patch. There's no single authoritative source you can trust completely — you have to cross-reference multiple pages and sometimes verify against in-game observation. If you need precise size data for competitive purposes or a breeding program, the most reliable approach is to record your own Pals' size multipliers in-game and build your own reference. It's slower upfront, but it's accurate and stays current without depending on someone else maintaining a sheet.
