Where to find and unlock Poogie in Monster Hunter Wilds

Before we get into how to pet Poogie, you’ll need to know where to find it first. Poogie can be found in the Suja region, which unlocks during Nothing Frozen, Nothing Gained Chapter 3-2. The pig will roam around this area, markeཧd with its distinct Pet icon.

If it’s nighttime, Poogie will likely be sleeping, but you can wake it up to start giving it pets.

How to pet Poogie in Monster Hunter Wilds

Petting Poogie will be easy enough to initiate, but the only problem is that it will get mad if you don’t do it correctly. To avoid this, press the ‘Pet’ button when the exclamation point appears. A successful attempt displays hearts around the pig as they jump for joy. If this doesn’t happen, it will end up knocking you down. Luckily, you can simply try again afterward.

Poogie will give you a random item in return to show their gratitude. I got an Exciteshroom out of it, but you can earn plenty more rewards. If you’re lucky, you may even get some of the game’s rarest items. Although you can pet Poogie as often as you like in Monster Hunter Wilds, it seems to only provide you with one daily gift. Check back on the pig anytime you’re in Suja for more rewards.

One of the unique features of Poogie is the ability to rename it, similar to the titles of the Palico and Seikret. There’s a 15-character limit, so you can’t go overboard with the length. But you can get creative and give Poogie a name that resonates with you. Of course, you can always stick with the classic ‘Poogie’; it’s a pretty cute name as is.
