Felyne (アイルー,Airou) are background characters in theCapcom franchiseMonster Hunter.
Origin[edit]
Felyne are a member of the Lynian class, which consist of monsters that resemble cats. Felyne are bipedal and are capable of human language, which allows them to enter a human village and assimilate themselves into the community. Felyne take on a variety of jobs in the village, such as a chef that cooks food for hungry citizens, as well as joining hunters on their journeys as a companion; Felynes who partner with a hunter are known as Palicoes and wear miniature suits of armor.
A specific Felyne with a more cartoonish design, the one in which the Mii headgear is based, is the main character of theFelyne Village series of spin-offs.
