While there are many new Pals added to Palworld with the Sakurajima update, there are a few which stand out. One of these a new Alpha Pal on Sakurajima Island and a variant of a previously existing Pal — Menasting Terra.
As an Alpha Pal, Menasting Terra spawns in a very specific location. You’ll find it wandering around the northern rocky area of Sakurajima Island, under a familiar giant statue of Anubis. The easiest way to get there is by heading to the Northern Rocky Area fast travel point, provided that you have it unlocked, and traveling west.

While it is a level 54, and therefore designed specifically to give you a tough fight, Menasting Terra can be overcome surprisingly easy. In an experiment (and absolutely not because I ran out of ammunition) I took it on with just a Sword. Although it took me a long time, I did manage to whittle down its health and capture it without too much fuss.
To make the battle easier on yourself, I’d suggest taking some high-level Grass type Pals, such as Warsect or the newly added Quivern Botan. Grass types are strong against Ground types, so they’re your best bet to get this fight over and done with quickly.
While it is entirely possible to complete this battle with a Sword in hand, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a much better idea to stock up on ammunition for your chosen weapon and head to its location fully stocked. On the plus side, if you do manage to take Menasting Terra down, it drops both Crude Oil and Flame Organs.
Once captured, Menasting Terra can be a good addition to your base provided you have enough space for it to move around. It has level 3 mining skill and level 2 lumbering skill. Menasting Terra may be better as part of your party.
The Terra variant of Menasting has the same Partner Skill as the regular Menasting, “Steel Scorpion”. Not only does this skill cause Electric type Pals to drop more items when killed, it also increases your defense as long as Menasting or its Ground type cousin are in your party.
