What are Palicos?
Palicos are the adorable, bipedal cat companions in Monster Hunter. They accompany the hunter on quests and help by attacking enemies, applying status effects, gathering items, diverting monster aggro, setting traps, healing, buffing allies, and even reviving players upon fainting
How do I best equip my Palico?
In Monster Hunter (especially World and Wilds), you equip your Palico by selecting two armor pieces (helmet and chest) and one weapon via the Smithy, just like your hunter. These parts define their combat role, stats, elemental resistances, and available skills
Can you have more than one Palico?
You can own and train multiple Palicos, but typically, you are allowed to bring only one or two Palicos with you on a mission or quest at a time. Additional Palicos can often be hired to expand your roster, providing a variety of support roles and abilities. The exact number of Palicos you can bring varies depending on time periot, but having a diverse selection helps tailor your companion choices to different lifestyles and challenges.
