How to get Ferocious
Random roll
The game's passive table lets Ferocious roll at random on Pals (AddPal).
Lottery weight, as the table gives it. It says how often this passive is drawn relative to the others; the table does not turn it into a percentage, so neither do we.
The Pal Surgery Table grafts Ferocious onto a Pal you own for 50,000 gold. Its card names no implant, so the gold is all it takes. The table unlocks at technology level 38.

Breeding Ferocious onto a Pal
If one parent carries Ferocious, the chance the child inherits it depends on how many different passives the two parents hold between them — a passive both carry counts once:
- Only Ferocious100%
- 2 passives in all80%
- 3 passives in all63%
- 4 passives in all50%
From PalCalc’s model of the game’s breeding tables (tylercamp/palcalc), which treats every passive alike: the child inherits one to four passives from the pool and may roll up to three random ones, four at most in all. Plan whole pairings in the breeding calculator.
Stacking and counterparts
