Also known as: オトモアイルー, palico, アイルー
Japanese: Otomo Airou
The customizable Felyne companion that accompanies the Monster Hunter (Character) in the Monster Hunter (Series) series.
Palicoes are not pets, but rather reliable and skilled comrades that assist Hunters. Like all other Felynes, they can canonically speak human language, though until Monster Hunter Wilds they were not voice acted in-game.
Your Palico can wear a variety of armor sets based on different monsters. You can check this search for a list of Palico armor tags.
