This was an immense relief for those riddled with anxiety over his safety in Fallout 3, when he could die and be lost forever (unless you had a special perk enabled). Fallout 4 (opens in new tab) features the latest - and the best - version of Dogmeat: a German Shepherd who cannot die. While Dogmeat's breed has varied throughout the franchise, in every game in which he's an actual companion (not an Easter egg, like in Fallout 2), he is incredibly loyal and helpful - fighting the bad guys, fetching items for you, and loving you even when you make questionable decisions. But, in what is clearly a testament to the quality of Dogmeat's character, he'll begin following you if you feed him or if you're wearing a leather jacket - we stan a fashionable, hungry queen. When he's killed by thugs, it seems Dogmeat will be left to his own devices. In the first Fallout, Dogmeat's original owner is a man whose likeness greatly resembles Mad Max's Max Rockantansky.

Dogmeat - Fallout seriesĪ modded Dogmeat in Fallout 4 (Image credit: Bethesda/Reddit user BerZB)Īrguably one of the most efficient, loyal, good boys you could ever have as a video game companion, Dogmeat (or some version of him) is in every Fallout game except for Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 76 (opens in new tab). I rest my case (but if you're not convinced, please watch this free ASMR of a Felyne making bread (opens in new tab)). Plus, like Pokemon, Palicos only faint when their HP is low, but if the sight of that is still too much for you, you can leave them behind on certain missions to ensure their safety. And the customization options are incredible - you can make your Palico look just like your own cat, or give the lil' dude bright pink fur and put 'em in a damn suit of armor if you fancy. They're hunters, helpers, and the best damn pals you can have on your monster-hunting journeys. Palicos are the names given to Felynes who join monster hunters (Felynes are cats that work in villages who can speak human languages). Yup, you read that right - customizable cats that walk on two legs.

Palicos are fully customizable bipedal cats that follow you on all of your adventures in Monster Hunter World (opens in new tab) and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (opens in new tab).
