Poogie is a little pig that plays an important role in Monster Hunter World According to legend, Poogie brings players good luck on the hunt. We present the special pig.
Who is Poogie? The little pig has been part of the first “Monster Hunter” game and has appeared in every title in the franchise since.
Poogie is an adorable mascot in Monster Hunter that is indispensable for veterans. The pig wanders freely around the village and is often found near merchants.
Since Monster Hunter 2, Poogie has primarily one purpose: Hunters dress the pig in various costumes and enjoy the sight.
It is also possible to interact with Poogie. When an exclamation mark appears above Poogie’s head, you need to press a button at the right moment. Poogie becomes excited, jumps around, and little hearts circle around the pig. Once the hearts appear, Poogie will follow you everywhere in the village.
The Legend of the Lucky Pig
According to the “Monster Hunter” legend, Poogie possesses special powers and is a lucky pig. It is possible to pet Poogie or even pick it up and carry it around.
Those who cuddle with Poogie before the hunt are said to have an increased chance of obtaining rare items when carving monsters. In Monster Hunter World, after catching or killing the animals, you can separate body parts from them. The scales, claws, or bones are needed to craft weapons and armor.
However, this is just a rumor, and the developers remain silent on whether Poogie really is a lucky pig or not.
It is, however, clear that Poogie has been bringing joy to players for years and indeed spreads good luck in a way.
