A few hours later, the user shared an update \u2013 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/lfUgHfH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new image<\/a>, the Vixy had grown even larger, becoming visible from aerial view.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Palworld\/comments\/1aen9je\/every_time_i_return_to_my_base_my_lucky_vixy_gets\/\">Every time I return to my base, my lucky Vixy gets bigger<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/kaityl3\/\">u\/kaityl3<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Palworld\/\">Palworld<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pal in question, Vixy, is a neutral element Pal with useful skills that allow it to gather Gold Coins, Arrows and Palspheres for you when assigned to a ranch. It inhabits a rather small area but can be found early on in the game. Normally, Vixy are about half the height of a human, but the one pictured above is even taller than surrounding trees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s normal for Lucky Pals to be larger in size compared to regular Pals, the ginormous size of the lucky Vixy far exceeds anything that can be seen under regular circumstances. The user describes the phenomenon in the following way: \u201cIt seems to affect just the first lucky Vixy I put in the base. If I take them out of the base and into the box, then replace them, they&#8217;re normal size temporarily, but then will grow again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240210-282199-002.jpg\" alt=\"Vixy in Palworld\" class=\"wp-image-27092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240210-282199-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240210-282199-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240210-282199-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240210-282199-002-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A regular Vixy<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The giantism bug does not seem to affect only Vixy, as players have also been reporting cases of Pals such as Anubis and Cattiva growing to abnormal sizes, even documenting the growth via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@storytime2543\/video\/7329867368887258414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a>.
