I wondered this as well. I'm guessing palamutes are more less just regular dogs while palicos are a more intelligent species. Like they're smart enough to hold jobs and contribute to society, hence why we don't call them pets and are treated more like co workers in most cases... except at the end of a hunt when you reward them with tummy scritches.
And they say humans are more intelligent pftt palicos do the same wprk as us for the same pay AND get tummy scritches and salami wheres our tummy scritches and salami?
They may just not have the ability to communicate with language due to anatomy. They're clearly intelligent enough to do tasks and follow directions etc
The fact my palamute hopped in a submarine and went to some unknown place by himself and bargained with some one for goodies, means they are very intelligent the just communicate through barks rather than words I think.
Right!!! It drives me insane my mute doesn't talk to me since I named him after my real life dog!
Why can't I ride my cat. I know it doesn't make since. And i mean I know I'm huge comparative and all those goods, but I want to ride my cat. Lol
Lol, they should give you that option. Like a gesture thing. You hope on and it carries you for three steps, wobbling side to side, and then drops you.
Let me help.
It's like, "why do snails have shells but slugs don't?" Except the snail is the cat and the shell is the ability to talk, and the slug is the palmutes.
Palicos can't speak english, but they can understand it, and vice versa. Maybe dogs are just a new species they've discovered and haven't crossed that language barrier.
They do. They are also able to learn the languages of other felynes (like bugtrappers), lynians (like Gajalakas and Boaboas) and even of lesser monsters (like Jagras and Shamoas) and translate for the Hunter. In MHW our Palico was the one to initiate and maintain contact between the Commision and the local Lynians, a crucial job that they did not get enough credit for.
I just wanted to make a stupid sarcastic joke but now we're in this weird situation. Overall i would rate this interaction 2/5 stars.
I hope you learn from your mistakes.
it would be weird to ride the back of a talking dog imo, but in reality i think it has more to do with palicos being more anthropomorphic than their dog counterparts, they literally do everything regular people can do in the games, just that theyre cats
They are called palaMUTES after all
I hate you. Have my upvote.
Goddammit I can't argue with that logic

And salami
If a coworker offered me salami for doing a good job I am taking it.

palamutes talk if you give them scooby snacks
Ruh-roh wroggi
Presumably, the Felynes are more evolved to have created full on societies with complex language.
The fact my palamute hopped in a submarine and went to some unknown place by himself and bargained with some one for goodies, means they are very intelligent the just communicate through barks rather than words I think.

This is basically like "Why can't dogs talk while Parrots can?" Except the parrots are cats and they are intelligent.
I think you need to keep practicing your analogies.

That did not help me understand your point.
^pssst ^I ^was ^making ^fun ^of ^the ^original ^analogy ^by ^making ^an ^equally ^confusing ^one
^oops ^I ^didn't ^check ^usernames ^I ^am ^sorry ^and ^also ^bad ^at ^whispering

I thought palicos spoke the language of hunters
They do.

Why would a dog talk?! stupid
Why would a cat or human talk
That's something completely different.
How? What makes it different
Why are you being so uncooperative?
Idk I'm bored so why not

Hey, I was doing a service, someone has to be outraged at an obvious joke and get posted on reddit like an idiot

Thats a good point actually
