Jumping into
Monster Hunter Wilds? The first thing you’ll do is create your Hunter (your playable character) and Palico (your battle-ready Felyne companion). They’ll be with you throughout your journey. Hence, you’ll want to get their look just right. Here’s how to do it.
Creating Your Hunter
Your Hunter is your in-game avatar, and
Monster Hunter Wilds gives you a ton of customization options.
- Preset or Custom?: Start with a preset look or fine-tune every detail—face, hair, eyes, physique, and even voice.
- Armor & Clothing: Choose your starting armor, underclothes, and general outfit.
- Randomize Face: Not sure about your look? Use the Randomize Face feature to cycle through different versions until you find the perfect one.
What You Can Customize:
- Face & Hair – Adjust facial features, hairstyles, and even eye shape.
- Physique – Choose body type and proportions (this won’t affect gameplay).
- Voice & Expressions – Select your Hunter’s voice and overall demeanor.
- Clothing & Armor – Choose underclothes and starting gear.
Creating Your Palico
Your Palico isn’t just a pet—it’s your loyal partner in the hunt!
What You Can Customize:
- Preset or Custom Design – Start with a base look or tweak every detail.
- Fur Pattern & Color – Mix and match patterns to make your Palico unique.
- Ears & Tail – Choose the shape and style to fit their personality.
- Voice & Language – Decide if they speak Felyne language or something more understandable.
