"Despite what you might think, Girri's gills can't deal with water! I'm using these wipes to clean them without getting them saturated. The rest of him is okay to soap up, though he probably won't like it. Just in case, we've got his fangs in this cozy muzzle to keep me, Kupa, and Bully safe."

This is brilliant. Monster grooming. Yes.

This is my cat Vivec! Named after the warrior-poet himself, Vivec's hobbies include playing with trash, screaming at birds on the balcony, and chasing the little red dot!

Drawing Mephi was pretty fun, next time I have a free moment I’ll see if I can draw her again in more detail. I’m still nervous to try coloring in my artwork rn, but I’ll keep practicing. Next time I’ll try to include her palico and handler too.

I can imagine Hunters taking photos of cut monster tails and posting them to Tigr and Instagammoth.

(Anon, I applaud you for that second pun, but you missed out on the opportunity of Tzitzr for the first one.)

Hunters posing with monster tails like white dads posing with fish they caught.

If you thought Teostra/Lunastra won’t chase a flashlight beam around like a housecat think again.

·· Inktober day 20 - Lagiacrus ··⠀ And here’s the nº1 on my top10 favorites from Monster Hunter!!  “Feared by sailors as the “Lords of the Seas”, Lagiacrus store enough electricity in their spinal organs to make the oceans surge. Occasionally they can be found resting on land as well.”⠀

The Tobi Kadachis get allergies during spring and have to stop a lot to sneeze and itch themselves. The allergies are especially prominent in the areas where they have both fur and scales.

Mizutsune might wash you if you pass through its territory and you stink.

Besides all the domestic work palicoes do within the guild, another reason why hunters are partnered up with their furry friends on the field is because hunting is a stressful job. Hunters are on the clock 24/7, only really stop working to eat, sometimes sleep, and pick up equipment at the smithy, and they regularly face off against huge, angry monsters with terrifying abilities in battle. Having their cute-faced kitties around all the time and being able to be affectionate towards them helps the hunters feel more relaxed and keeps morale up.
