The Felyne (Japanese: アイルー, romanized: airū), is a fictional species in the Monster Hunter video game series developed by Capcom. Since Monster Hunter Generations, Palico refers to specific skilled Felynes who accompany player characters, or "hunters", as AI-controlled partners. Felynes have become a popular mascot for the series, and have featured in spin-off games, many cross-promotions with other Capcom and non-Capcom video games, and various Japanese consumer products.
