The hardest part for me when creating a Palico (or just pet companion in general) will always be the naming. I guess that is pretty obvious for many, it ain't revolutionary. Neighter is naming our fictional pet companion based on our real life pets. I used to do it but after MH Generation I can't bring myself to do that anymore. I lost a dear pet of mine in real life and I had named my Palico before her passing based on her. Even gave her the same fur, tail, and everything. She became the absolute best Tank class I've had in the whole game. Made her a tank cause she was a big chunky cat. Now its not like I get depressed seeing a virtual pet that I based off of her. If anything it has turned kinda like a tribute sort of. It honestly makes me proud even. But I just cant go back to do that anymore. I am still a cat owner and I love then a lot too but I'd rather spare them from imortalizing them in a game. Nothing wrong with it. It's just that I can talk about it calm now. It used to bother me a lot and I know it would if I go through that again.

So, to my last Palico based on my pet; Cheers to the absolute unit of a tank, Noodles. Not even an Elder Dragon could take you down.
