AI Analysis
Overview
A Ranch-oriented Pal, available from early on. Its role is to be placed at the livestock ranch to gather materials, and the yield isn't affected by work speed.
Placed at the livestock ranch, it yields Gold Coin.
The basic move is to keep it fixed as Farming livestock, tapping it as a steady material source. Prioritize keeping up hunger and SAN over work speed. Available from early on, so securing it early makes your early game much easier.
AvailabilityEarly GameWild Lv 5–15
- Ranch
- Low Upkeep
- Night Shift
Strengths
- Nocturnal, so it keeps working through the night without sleeping
- Appears in the wild from Lv5, so you can secure it early on
- Food 1 is in the lightest bracket (2 or less), so it barely adds to feed costs at the base
Cautions
- Base stat total of 270 is in the bottom 25% bracket (330 or less), so it's not suited as a main combat unit
- Defense 70 is in the bottom 25% bracket (80 or less), leaving it vulnerable to hits

Recommended passives
Combat
To build Mau for combat, prioritize damage passives such as Legend and Musclehead. Adding Lord of the Underworld on top is recommended to further boost the Dark moves it can use at matching element.
Base
To build Mau for base work, stack passives like Swift and Diet Lover that speed up trips to the feed box and slow hunger loss. Work-speed boosts do little for ranch output, so keep them low priority.
Drops (Defeat / Butcher)
Butchering a Pal you caught yields the same items. Butchered Pals will be gone for good.
Habitat
No surface spawn locations for this pal (dungeon / boss only).
