Artist Yusuke Kozaki commented on the design of the new Palico companion introduced in Monster Hunter Now. The new Palico is named Senpai-kun and its design features a sporty neon yellow hoodie jacket, as well as paw guards.
The hoodie is fitted to give room for the Felyne’s ears, and the design uses magenta as an accent. The character is also carrying a backpack and has an extra slot for a bottle. In contrast with the grounded fantasy designs of the mainline Monster Hunter series, the new Palico character is wearing a contemporary sports and fitness attire.
In regards to this design, Yusuke Kozaki shared a message through his X (Twitter) account explaining that he pursued aspects of cuteness and functionality that can be found in the real world.

As a reminder, Capcom launched Season 4: Roars from the Winterwind, the new major update to Monster Hunter Now on December 12, 2024. The update adds new monsters to fight, and it introduced the Switch Axe weapon to the mobile game.
Monster Hunter Now is readily available for Android and iOS mobile devices.
