Question about Predator Pals

[Zifeara]

So a link was shared in another discussion about a tool that has their locations listed and I have only see one at a marked location so far, much less consistently. So my question is: do they just spawn in randomly? Like sometimes they're there or sometimes they aren't? Is it maybe being affected by having the randomized pal spawns on because I don't think it is; the Reptyro Cryst is where it should be on the map. What have you guys noticed?

Edit: https://palworld.gg/map has been updated to include predator pals as well and seems to agree with the other

While doing circuits in the mountain area where the Free Pal Alliance Tower is to gather Ice Organs, on one pass, Reptyro Cryst wasn't there. The very next pass I made, with no warps back to base or anything; it was just me doing another lap? Reptyro Cryst was there.

So I presume it's a random chance to be there when that particular area loads.

Turning spawn rate up probably helps with it, I play with it max (as solo it actually saves lots of time and doesnt' slow the game down I find) and run into predators all the time, at night (and easier to see at night) rule of thumb to remember is you cant' actually catch them ever! You have to defeat them.

Yeah, Predator Pals are not guaranteed to spawn every time you pass through
