There are 10 parent pairs that hatch Mau in Palworld 1.0, all of them ordinary maths, no special recipe: Mau sits at breeding power 3,040, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Mau. All of them are read straight from the 1.0 game files, not copied from an Early Access spreadsheet, and the table below sorts them by how easy the parents are to get. The most reachable is Jolthog + Lamball; the calculator above already has Mau selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

How the maths gets to Mau
Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Mau sits at 3,040. When two parents breed, the game adds their two numbers, halves the total rounding up, and hatches whichever Pal is nearest that result. So any pair whose numbers average out to 3,040 (or nearer to 3,040 than to any other Pal) gives Mau: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 3,040.
Worked examples from the table: Jolthog (3,030) + Lamball (3,050) → 3,040; Mau (3,040) + Jolthog (3,030) → 3,035. When two Pals sit at exactly the same distance from the average, a fixed priority order decides, which is why a few pairs that look like they should tie do not.
Mau + Mau always hatches Mau: breeding two of the same species is how you farm passives once you have a pair.
What Mau breeds into
Mau as a parent, with a few common partners. The forward tab of the calculator does this for any pair.
Where to catch Mau
Mau has no wild spawn point on the overworld map: it comes from eggs, breeding, dungeons, raids or a special encounter. Its codex card has the details. Open the interactive map →
Frequently asked questions
How many pairs breed Mau in Palworld 1.0?
10 unordered parent pairs, all ordinary maths (no special recipe), read from the 1.0 game files. The full table is above.
What is the easiest pair for Mau?
By breeding power, Jolthog + Lamball is the pair with the commonest parents in 1.0. Whether it is easy for you depends on what you own; the calculator above can filter the list by a parent you have.
What do two Mau breed?
