Various interactions with the Pokémon-like Pals are the core aspect of Pocket Pair’s survival crafting game, Palworld. You can hunt these Pals or capture them to keep them as pets. Captured Pals are used for various purposes, such as riding, assigning tasks around your base, fighting alongside you in combat, or even being butchered. Yes, you heard that right, Palworld allows you to perform the gruesome act of butchering your cherished Pals.

This feature is especially useful if you have caught too many Pals. It clears your Paldeck while rewarding resources. However, you need a specific tool called the “Meat Cleaver” to perform the butcher Pals action. This guide helps you learn how to get a Meat Cleaver in Palworld and how to use it to butcher Pals in the survival crafting title.

After crafting the Meat Cleaver, equip the item from your inventory. This replaces the “Pet” Pal action with the “Butcher” Pal action in the Pal Command menu. Here is how to use the Meat Cleaver to butcher a Pal:

  • Assign the Pal you want to butcher to your Party.
  • Summon the Pal to your base.
  • Once crafted, equip the Meat Cleaver.
  • Bring up the Pal Command Wheel by clicking the respective button.
  • You will find the option “Butcher [Your Pal Name]” at the top of the wheel. For instance, if you are going to butcher Cremis, the option pops up as “Butcher Cremis.”
  • Hit the option to witness your character swinging the Meat Cleaver and slaying your Pal.

The butchering action will be blurred automatically. However, the butchered Pal will die and be removed permanently, dropping an item for the players.
