The Crimson Fangtooth – Palia’s Vibrant Cave Predator
A striking fish with brilliant crimson coloring and sharp fangs that give it a fierce, otherworldly look. It lurks in the darkest cave pools and puts up a solid fight once hooked, making every underground cast feel like a real adventure.
Where to Find the Crimson Fangtooth in Palia (Best Locations)
The Crimson Fangtooth can only be caught in the underground cave waters – not rivers, ponds, or open ocean. It spawns in multiple cave systems, so you have options depending on where you are.
Top fishing spots (easiest to reach):
- Pavel Mines Cave in Bahari Bay (the most popular and reliable spot)
- Temple of the Waves Cave (Water Temple) in Kilima Valley
- The Underground area
Pro Farming Route (fastest way to find one):
Head straight to the Pavel Mines Cave in Bahari Bay — it’s widely considered the best farming spot. Enter the cave, go to the underground water pools, and start casting with Glow Worms. Most players catch one within a reasonable number of casts here. If you’re in Kilima, the Temple of the Waves cave is a great alternative.
Pro tip: Cast your line and wait for the fish to appear before reeling. Only reel in if you see the Crimson Fangtooth silhouette to save your Glow Worms!

When & How to Catch It
- Time: Any time of day (Morning, Day, Evening, or Night — no restrictions!)
- Bait: Glow Worm is by far the best. You can technically catch one without it, but your chances drop dramatically.
- Rod: Any fishing rod works; higher skill = better star-quality chance.
Rewards & Why It’s Worth Catching
Successfully landing a Crimson Fangtooth nets you:
- Regular: 180 Gold
- ⭐ Star Quality: 270 Gold
Star-quality versions look incredible as aquarium decor. It’s also useful for several cave-fish bundles and counts toward many “Any Fish” cooking recipes.
In Conclusion:
The Crimson Fangtooth is a vibrant uncommon prize hidden in Palia’s darkest caves. With Glow Worms and a quick trip to the Pavel Mines in Bahari Bay (or the Temple of the Waves), you’ll be reeling them in consistently.
