Vault Pangolin
Vault Pangolin — legendary hoard-chest pet. In the hoard: cracks chests and empties them.
Overview
Vault Pangolin is a legendary regular pet: In the hoard: cracks chests and empties them.
It is a regular pet that never appears in a pet crate. It only comes out of Hoard chests and carries 3 abilities unlocked one per star — see How to get.
Every regular and limited pet carries a nature — one of 13, rolled per copy — that raises one job by 15% and lowers another by 10% — the jobs are MINING (dig power on expeditions), FORGE (work speed at a Ball Factory machine), CHESTS (its own share of hoard chest speed), GATES (damage to the hoard gate); a few natures are neutral. Elusive pets have none, and the board never reads natures.
One pet, one job. A single copy can only be in one place at a time on the board's side: on the board, on an expedition or working a Ball Factory machine. A pet that is working somewhere else is drawn greyed out in the Pets inventory with a gold banner naming the place (EXPEDITION, FACTORY…), and tapping it to equip only tells you where it is busy — take it off that job first. The Hoard is its own screen and can use any pet you own, even one on the board. A pet cannot be traded while it is working or in the Hoard, and a pet in a pending trade can't be equipped or put to work until the trade ends.
Abilities
This pet has 3 abilities and unlocks them one per star: the first is live from the day you get it, the second needs 2★, the third 3★ (see fusion below).
| ★ | Ability | Lv 1 | Lv 25 | Lv 50 | Lv 75 | Lv 100 | Charm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ | Scale Pry | +0.00% | +2.4% | +4.9% | +7.5% | +10% | CHARM |
| 2★ | Deep Pockets | +0.00% | +2.4% | +4.9% | +7.5% | +10% | CHARM |
| 3★ | Sifting Claws | +0.00% | +4.8% | +9.9% | +15% | +20% | CHARM |
- Scale Pry — In the hoard, the crew deals this much more damage to CHESTS.
- Deep Pockets — In the hoard, every chest pays this much more balls, gems and shards.
- Sifting Claws — In the hoard, chests give up this many more SHARDS.
Stars and fusion
Fuse 3 copies at the same star into one at the next — guaranteed, at the Fusion forge. The XP invested in all three copies is pooled into the result.
| Fuse | Needs | Essence |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ → 2★ | 3 × 1★ Vault Pangolin |  2,500 |
| 2★ → 3★ | 3 × 2★ Vault Pangolin | 7,500 |
Each star switches on the next ability in the table above.
A 3★ copy can become shiny by fusing an owned shiny Vault Pangolin into it for 10,000 — see Shiny pets.

Salvage
Salvaging a copy yields 1,600, plus a 20% chance of 
160 on top. See Pet Salvage.
How to get
Hoard chests — 2% (1 in 50) from every MYTHIC CHEST you open. Never in the pet crates — see Hoard pets- At 2% per chest that is about one pet every 50 chests of that tier. The chest is the only source — the pet crates, the mythic pity and free pulls can never produce it. Copies fuse to 3★ like any regular pet.
