A newly discovered bug in Palworld is allowing players to place several different items within their in-game Egg Incubators, including precious resources like Pal Souls. The breakout hit monster-catching game from developer Pocket Pair offers plenty of things to do within its in-game world, between capturing new Pals and building up their bases.

One fan jokingly suggested that a «MissingNo» would hatch from the items, referencing the infamous glitch Pokemon from the first generation Pokemon games. Many fans also pointed out that the bug may be related to a
