In Monster Hunter World there will be many dangerous beasts you must take down! They often have huge claws, sharp teeth, and spit fire or poison. And then there are the Palicos.
Monster Hunter World features some creatures that could be considered quirky. From loud chameleons to fluffy bat balloons and creepy elder dragons, there’s everything.
However, the secret stars are small, clever beings on velvet paws: The Palicos. They are loyal companions that roam around the city and carry out their own tasks.
Palicos are cute and useful! As chefs, they give buffs & help in the hunt
Palicos look simply adorable and add a special charm to Monster Hunter World – they bring good vibes and smile to many players’ faces. In addition, Palicos are helpful companions.
The cats are out there with you as full-fledged monster hunters!
In Monster Hunter World, you have a personal Palico that actively supports you in the hunt. You can equip your cat with armor and assign them different tasks during the hunt. The Palicos can gather useful items for you, heal you during battles, or weaken monsters.
Sometimes, Palicos even befriend wild cats on your adventure. They will accompany you for a while and assist you wherever they can.
Palicos are passionate chefs!
The cats have discovered a great passion for cooking. With them, you can really fill your belly. With the special recipes of the Palicos, you will even receive buffs during the hunt.
Sometimes, you have to expose yourself to harsh weather conditions as a monster hunter. The meals of the Palicos can protect you from cold or heat.
When you’re hunting monsters that cause elemental damage like electricity or paralysis, the Palicos have something useful in their cooking pot for you as well.
Palico Creator: Design your cat companion to your liking
The Palicos have always been loyal and important companions throughout the entire franchise. Although the cats have never been the center of attention – a Monster Hunter without the gentle companions would be unthinkable.
In Monster Hunter World, the Palicos get a bit more attention. Your personal cat companion receives its own character creator. Decide on things like face, tip of the ears, fur color and pattern, or expression.
Are you excited about the cat companions or do the Palicos leave you cold?
