There are many different traditions associated with playing Monster Hunter; getting a good meal before a hunt, sharpening your weapon every three seconds, grabbing all items in sight despite not needing them (you've probably got enough herbs by now). But my favorite has always been dressing up my cat companion in the most cursed cosmetics available.
And let me tell you, Monster Hunter Wilds has some extremely weird Palico outfits. I've been playing the series for a while and I always expect things to get a little freaky in the cat cosmetic department, but this time Capcom has really outdone itself. The first time I realised we were on a different level was after I fought The Black Flame and discovered that its outfit lets you turn your Palico into an actual squid… like, it's not even a cat anymore.
