Palicoes are a cat-like combat companion in Monster Hunter World. As hunters' reliable comrades out in the field, they specialize in a variety of offensive, defensive, and restorative support abilities. The hunter's Palico joins the Fifth Fleet with pride, as much a bona fide member of the Commission as any other hunter.
You only get one Palico. The one you customize during character creation will be the only companion Palico. Others will be in the Town or Players Housing but do not accompany the Hunter.
Palicoes are reliable comrades while out on the hunt. They'll support you in numerous ways during quests, from attacking monsters to utilizing useful gadgets.
Palicoes in MHW
- Palicoes can be outfitted with Weapons and Armor that you make for them in Crafting
- They can be leveled up according to traits and roles you wish for them to serve
- In combat, they can support you with offensive and defensive maneuvers
- They can serve as harvesting helpers for gathering Items in the wild
- They can communicate with local wild cats and convince them to help hunters by setting traps
- Only one Palico can be brought on a quest, but the Palico can temporarily recruit wild cats and small monsters to help. Sometimes another player's Palico can be encountered in the wild, and they will aid you--quite useful since they can also use Palico Gadgets.
- Palicoes can be equipped with gadgets that give powerful bonuses on command
- The max level for your Palico is 50 (Patch 6.02)
- The max level of Tailraider Unity is 10. (Patch 6.02)
Palico Gadgets
All Palico Gadgets have two stages and your Palico will use their gadgets semi-frequently on their own. After levelling a gadget to lv5, an icon will appear in your quickbar to use the first stage at the player's command e.g to place a flashfly cage. After reaching lv10 with a gadget, a second icon will become available allowing you to use the second stage of the gadget on command. This can be useful to place things like vigorwasp stations or shock traps shortly before a fight. Gadget proficiency level cap has raised from 10 to 15 since patch 6.02.
- Vigorwasp Spray: The Palico pulls out a vigorwasp and rides it towards the hunter. It then explodes, healing the hunter. When leveled up, the Palico can also deploy a stationary vigorwasp, like one found in the wild.
- Flashfly Cage: The Palico pulls out a cage with a flashfly in it. The hunter can then hit the cage to create a large flash. Very useful for fighting flying wyverns like Rathalos or Legiana. When leveled up, the Palico can deploy an electric shock trap. Beware, overuse of traps and flashes will cause a monster to become resistant.
- Shieldspire: The Palico pulls out a shield with a face on it. The Palico then taunts the monster into attacking it while using the shield to stay alive. The next ability of the Shieldspire is a shield bash which can stagger and stun a monster if it hits.
- Coral Orchestra: The Palico pulls out a Coral Instrument. The Palico then plays one of several songs that applies a buff (e.g. Attack Up, Defense Up, Bleeding Resistance, Stamina Drain Down). Upon levelling up the Palico gains access to a second instrument with some improved buffs, such as the ability to negate environmental damage from lava, giving the player the earplug effect, divine protection or stun resistance/negation.
- Plunderblade: The Palico pulls out a Plunderblade and snatches items from monsters (e.g. scales, fangs ...). Items snatched this way go directly to the Palico inventory and will be received at the end of the quest or expedition. Upon levelling up, the Palico is able to throw the Plunderblade. If this thrown blade hits a monster, the monster will drop an item, which may be either an appropriate scale or talon, or a slinger ammo e.g Piercing pods.
- Meowlatov Cocktail: The Palico pulls out a ceramic pot and throws it at monster causing it to explode and deal damage. The upgraded version has your Palico roll around with a small cannon and shield. These attacks can easily stagger large monsters.
Role in the Main Story/Lore
A Felyne partner that joins the Fifth Fleet hunter in their travels, coming to the New World along with their A-List hunting partner. Palicoes provide support with various weapons and tools used in hunting and, being lynians, can also use their own physical abilities to contribute to investigations in the New World.The Palico met the Hunter, their present partner, in the Old World and carried out several requests for them. Perhaps because of that long association, the Palico wanted to be taken along on the next fleet so the Hunter could see them making good use of Palico Gadgets. That reveals their trust and affection for their partner.
Many types of Lynians live in the New World. Each has their own culture and linguistic systems, so direct interaction is difficult, but Palicoes are highly active as go-betweens. They can understand human languages, they can actualize interactions with Lynians as they investigate evidence of them. Sometimes they exchange information, and sometimes they join in on hunts. These things forge friendly relationships. Finally, they can also learn the languages of small monsters and can control those small monsters by feeding them. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are indispensable in the investigation of the New World.
Palicoes and Grymalkines
Palicoes can acquire additional skills, but to unlock them, you'll need assistance from Grimalkynes. These petite feline creatures share similarities with Palicoes but lean a bit more towards the wild side. Grimalkynes possess the ability to teach your Palico how to communicate with other monsters in the local vicinity, a handy skill when dealing with certain larger foes. Additionally, they can offer temporary assistance to those who have befriended them when encountered on the map. Once befriended, and they join your entourage, you'll see a boost in their health and effectiveness during hunts.
Ancient Forest - Bugtrappers
Once the upper area of the Ancient Forest is unlocked (Camp 17) enter the Ancient Forest in Expedition mode and find doodles around the map made by the Bugtrappers. Once enough doodles have been collected open your map and find a tailrider icon with a description of ???. Mark it and follow your scout flies to it where you'll find a lone Bugtrapper that will run. Chase it back to its camp (near Camp 17). Once you arrive at its camp your Palico will talk to it and befriend it asking to join the Bugtrappers.
Rewards
- Flashfly Cage - A Bugtrapper insect cage used to stop monsters in their tracks. Its effectiveness varies with the type of insect inside, and the duration increases with Proficiency (In-Game Description)
- Max Proficiency Reward - Boombug Cage
- Ability to befriend Jagras and make them tailraiders.
Wildspire Waste - Protectors
Start this quest by finding doodles, just like the Forest find enough till you can track them on your map. Follow your scout flies to an area near (Camp 15), there you'll find a lone Protector worried about his friends after they got separated by a Barroth. He'll ask you to find them and capture them with your capture net. Your Palico will then mark their locations on your map. Go to each and attempt to capture them ( Ghillie Mantle has no effect on them meaning they will still run if you approach with your Ghillie Mantle equipped? [Unverified] ), they will be scanning the area so approach when they aren't looking and capture them. Once all three have been captured, return to the first Protector and he'll befriend you.
Rewards
- Shieldspire - A massive Protector shield used to defend against attacks. It can also be used to provoke monsters, drawing their attention. Guard effectiveness increase with Proficiency. (In-Game Description)
- Max Proficiency Reward - Shieldspire Bash ability
- Ability to befriend Kestodon and make them tailraiders.
Coral Highlands - Troupers
Begin this sub-quest like the other two. Find the Troupers in Area 10, they will be riding Shamos and attack, defeat them and they will run, follow them to their hideout where they will explain they were planning on hunting two Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's that have been causing trouble. Your Palico will offer to help and you'll receive an Optional Quest to complete which involves defeating two Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's. (You do not have to wait for a Lynian Researcher to be present in the area.)
Rewards
- Coral Orchestra - An instrument of Trouper make, able to yield a variety of effects. Its melodies boost attack, defense, or status resistances. Those effects increase with Proficiency. (In-Game Description)
- Max Proficiency Reward - Coral cheerbongo.
- Ability to befriend Shamos and make them tailraiders.
- Melodies [unverified and not necessarily complete]. Divine blessing, attack, defence, affinity, increased recovery of recoverable (red) damage, ear plugs.
Rotten Vale - Plunderers
To start this quest the sub-area of the Vale must be unlocked, and be on a Solo Expedition. Find a Plunderer in Area 13, it only appears after the Odogaron has dragged over the Legian corpse from Area 9. Then chase it with scout flies to the dead end in Area 15. Put out Raw Meat when told to by your Palico. After a few moments multiple Plunderers will come to eat the meat. You will get the usual cut scene before they join you. (You do not have to wait for a Lynian Researcher to be present in the area.)
Rewards
- Plunderblade - An invention on the Plunderers that snatches items from monsters when attacking. The quantity of stolen items increases with proficiency. (In-Game Description)
- Max Proficiency Reward - Palarang
- Ability to befriend Girros and make them tailraiders.
Elder's Recess - Gajalaka
To start this quest you must have befriended all the other Grymalkynes. Speak to the Lynian Researcher in Astera by the Ecological Research area. This will give you a new Critical Bounty called Gajalaka Exchange: Gajalaka Linguistics in which you must find 10 Gajalaka Tracks. These appear as Gajalaka Doodles and only in high rank zones. Each locale (Not necessarily each zone) has at least 2 doodles, some may have more. Doodles appear relatively close to where Gajalaka spawn (filter your map by "small monsters" to locate them). Doodles do not respawn, not even if you go back to Astera and return.
- Ancient Forest - Areas 5, 15
- Wildspire Wastes - Areas 3, 5, 7
- Coral Highlands - Area 12, 6 (found at the Bottom of area 6)
- Rotten Vale - Area 3 (2 doodles), 15 (you can find 3 doodles here without Gajalaka)
- Elder's Recess - Area 8
After you turn in the Bounty you must speak with the Lynian Researcher again to get Gajalaka Exchange: Gajalaka Linguistics II. Equip your Ghillie Mantle to make this one easier then return to the Elder's Recess AT NIGHT. You can wait for night, or simply go into your tent within one of your camps (where you can change Palico and your own gear and heal up, your character literally drinks tea there) to trigger the change. When you arrive the Lynian Researcher will be at the entrance of the Gajalaka Camp. From there sneak into the camp without being seen. The Ghillie Mantle will make you invisible. When you get close enough to the fire without being noticed the camera will zoom in on a hole in the wall, interact with the hole without being seen to complete the quest. (Note: "Wild" Gajalaka will remain hostile in all zones, ally Gajalaka will be marked with green indicators like other tailraiders.)
Rewards
- Meowlotov Cocktail - Throws a Gajalaka-style bomb that deals damage. Combines with the Palico slinger to allow for sustained fire. Blast Strength increases with proficiency. (In-Game Description)
- Max Proficiency Reward - [Unknown]
- Ability to befriend Gastodon and make them tailraiders.
- 5 shortcut tunnels throughout Elder's Recess.
- Access to area 16.
Hoarfrost Reach - Boaboa
After the completing the third Iceborne quest, Ready to Strike, the Linean Researcher will appear in Hoarfrost Reach near campsite 1. Speak to him and he'll tell you that in order to gain the Boaboa's favor, you must impress them. To do so, you must successfully hunt a large monster in front of the Boaboa scouts, to which they will aid you. Next, your Palico will tell you that the Boaboa wish to speak with you. Travel down the path away from campsite 1, just until you crawl under the large branch. A group of Boaboa will ask you to meet them at their lair. Head to area 2 and take the wingdrake. Climb up the waterfall rocks and through the corridor at the northeast corner to their lair. Speak to the Boaboa within the lair, they will offer you the quest By Our Powers Combined. Accept the quest and hunt the tempered Beotodus.
Rewards
- Tailraider Signal - A signal to call a Grimalkyne to your aid.
- Max Proficiency Reward - [Unknown]
- Purple Boaboa's will no longer attack you
- A shortcut to area 17 (upon reaching level six Unity)

Palico Gallery
Palico Weapons in Monster Hunter World (MHW) are used by Palicoes to attack and deal damage to Monsters. Palico Weapons are handled a bit different than player Weapons and there are much fewer to choose from. Below is a list of Palico Weapons in Monster Hunter World.

Iceborne Palico Equipment in Monster Hunter World (MHW) is Palico gear added with the paid 
Iceborne Expansion. This DLC-exclusive gear can be changed much the way players can change their own. Palicoes can equip 4 different equipment: Weapons, Helms, Chest Armor and Gadgets. Palico Equipment works much the same way that player Equipment does, and is made from Materials that drop from Monsters.

what are the different palicos? And I don't mean the Healer, Assist, Fight, Bombardier, and Gathering classes, the palicos you get to select to be your partner

In solo runs with a max level cat and max level mewcano, I sometimes feel like they do most of the damage for me

Yes they’re cute. Yes they’re cool. Yes they’re helpful. Actually, scratch that last part. The further I go into endgame the more I notice my palico coming to heal me and then healing itself in front of me. I love them but sometimes they are really mean to me.

this page doesn't feature the map icon for palicoes and i know it exists, yet i can't find it

The health pool of these little friends is surprisingly large, if yours faints in a fight, you were probably rining arround the monster while he was taking all the hits.

my palico's set is the full felyne Safi'jiiva armor set, the felyne safi'jiiva spear, and the meowlatov cocktail as the palico item.

The question remains: what and how much does the Ranged attack contribute to a Palico? Does it increase the damage done by the boomerang throw - and if so, does that throw also deal element/status damage, and does a higher Ranged attack also increase ranged attack likelihood as some have claimed?

Coral Orchestra and Meowlatov are the most useful gadgets. Ideally, have one of each in duo hunts. Orchestra, more reliably at higher levels it seems, tends to outfit you with buffs depending on the monster you're fighting (poison resistance against Pukei Pukei, paralysis resistance against Great Girros, etc), negate environment hazards while in Rotten Vale's lower floors, and commonly Divine Blessing, Earplugs, and Adrenaline. The new Iceborne upgrade gives a gong that also acts as a screamer pod. Meowlatov is pure damage, plain and simple. It can break parts, stun monsters, and even adds an extra bomb when you place your barrels. Middle tier are Plunderblade and Shieldspire. Plunderblade is great when you're farming for materials, and Iceborne upgrades it to allow you to get trade items as well, making it useful for money farming. Shieldspire draws monsters attention away, which is only good for a hit or two, because the Palico can't tank monsters for squat, especially at higher levels. It gives you a moment to breathe, which may save you a carting. Bottom of the barrel, definitely beginner material, is Vigorwasp and Flashfly cage. For Vigorwasp, you have Spray and Delivery. Spray plants a stationary vigorwasp that you can heal from, while Delivery makes the Palico bring a vigorwasp to you. Problem with those is that the stationary nature of the Spray typically plants it in an unfortunate location, usually under a monster's feet (where the Palico has been fighting) or on the other side of an area. And Delivery is too slow to rely on, both in travel time (the Palico brings it to you from wherever the Palico is when it decides to use it) and in its activation (the Palico only uses it when you're at less than half health, if at all), and when you need healing NOW, a potion is going to save you far more than this ever will. It CAN save you a mega potion, if any of it works, but is far, far from reliable. Even less useful, is the Flashfly Cage. The cage is stationary, and if the monster isn't facing it, it is entirely useless. The trap is also inconvenient as the Palico will place them wherever it feels like it, so if you're luring a monster under a trap, it's likely to get caught somewhere else and ruin your plan. The trap is also entirely useless against elder dragons, but your Palico will still waste time placing them. It's also important to note that the more you use both the cage and the trap, the less effective they will be, including your own Flash Pods and traps.

kinda useful early to midgame, and late game this f'cker spends most of the hunts napping after a KO or healing themselves

Is there a way to check your palicoe's items he picks up before you head to camp so when you're gathering items you know that you have the amount you need

Woah, I really want this game now! I saw my younger friend play it and now I'm really interested. Do you think "Lucinda" (for a girl) or "Mosi" (for a boy) would be good Palico names?

I once saw my Palico (who i named after my long dead cat) carry a cannonball and load it with me in a cannon during the Zorah event.
And then man up a turrent and shooting the everloving crap out of said dragon afterwards.
Give or take, that was so badass that i always give my Palico the best gear i can craft.

Can I change the name of my Palico without creating a new save?
No, Palicos only come with you if you are alone or with one other hunter. Besides, hunters are usually far more powerful than any palico will ever be.

is there a way so get your palico to accompany you and two of your friends. while me and my friends were playing together, our palicos were not with us. it kind of defeats the purpose of playing with other people since your palico can be extremely useful
- Anonymous
Is it really you can only have one Palico? I've seen videos with people have 2 or 3 of them while fighting and they are not playing with other players.
i would scream silently at my screen whenever my palico just stand besides me instead of hitting me when im stunned
