# Minting a PixelPal

Every user will need a PixelPal to start playing the game. A PixelPal is a soulbound ERC-721 NFT that can be minted **free of charge**.&#x20;

There are four different PixelPals that can be minted. All PixelPals adopt Pixelmon IPs:&#x20;

**Boremon**\

Users can choose their preferred PixelPal in the onboarding screen; there will be no differences to the ability or utility of PixelPals in season 1.&#x20;

All successful mints will output +100 Pet Points as a starter.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://liquidx.gitbook.io/pixelpals-documentation-season-0/getting-started/minting-a-pixelpal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
