Enthusiasm
When a Palico's Enthusiasm is high, their actions during a quest and when you use them at any village facility will come with added bonuses. You can recover Enthusiasm by making them rest or by feeding them.
Forte
A Palico's inclination during a quest.
There is a special Forte reserved only for your Main Palico that can be influenced by other Palicoes' Fortes.
For example, if Palicoes other than the Main Palico possess the Healing Forte, the Main Palico will also use the Recovery Forte. If you want your Main Palico to use a variety of moves, make sure you have Palicoes with different Fortes on your 1st Stringer list.

Stamina

Team Attacks
A powerful cooperative technique that requires two Palicoes. The type of attack depends on the Palicoes, and its effectiveness depends on their level. Bonus effects are tied to the Enthusiasm of the Main Palico.
Target Priority
Indicates which type of monster a Palico will attack when both small and large monsters are present. Target priority is dependent on the type of head equipment a Palico has equipped.
Palico Skills
Each Palico possess their own unique skill. These skills can be activated during a quest, a Meownster Hunter quest, or at the Casting Machine.
Deploy/Train Settings
You can set your Palico settings via the Palico Board in your house or at Sunsnug Isle.
Deploy
Your Main Palico will accompany you on a quest when they are set to Deploy. You can also set one Sub Palico to Deploy. If your Main Palico is not set to Deploy, you cannot bring a Sub Palico with you.
Train
Palicoes will train either in your house or at Sunsnug Isle when set to Train. Even though they're not on a quest, training allows Palicoes to boost their status slightly. However, they will not train if their Enthusiasm is too low.
Rest
Palicoes will rest and slowly build up the Enthusiasm.
Palico Equipment
Palicoes can equip a weapon plus head and body armor. Head armor determines a Palico's Target priority. You can forge Palico equipment by talking to The Man. Forging Palico equipment requires special Scraps that can be found during Meownster Hunter quests.
