TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Hoodle if…

  • You specifically want Void-Dweller as your combat partner skill.
  • Party buff partner skill.
  • Lower food upkeep matters on your ranch — Hoodle is Food 3.

Pick Omascul if…

  • You specifically want Masquerade Dance as your combat partner skill.

Verdict

Hoodle and Omascul both cover Dark DPS in the Early (R1–4) band, but they win different fights. Hoodle leans on Void-Dweller and a 100 attack frame. Omascul answers with Masquerade Dance and 105 attack (100 Defense vs 80). Pick the partner skill and bulk profile that match how you actually fight — not just the rarer dex number.
