Sure, the monsters you'll see roaming the overworld and the ones you'll be hatching are pretty terrifying in Monster Hunter Stories, so wouldn't it be nice to find something a little more wholesome as you battle your way across the land to improve your skills as a Rider?
RelatedEvery Monster Hunter Game In Chronological Order
Monster Hunter continues to be well and alive after almost two decades. With so many titles, it can be confusing to know how to play them in order.
PostsAround the world, you'll find hidden Poogies - adorable pink pigs wearing some pretty wild costumes - that are often tucked away off the beaten path. Rescuing them will net you some cool rewards when you're next near one of your homes; find every Poogie in Monster Hunter Stories to earn them.
Our Poogie location guide is a work in progress! Check back in a bit for the locations of the remaining Poogies we haven't found quite yet.
What Are Poogies?
It won't be long into playing Monster Hunter Stories that you'll find your very first Poogie, a pink pig wearing a costume that's often tucked away in the furthest corners of the world. We'll try not to question how they managed to get this lost, but it's up to your Rider to find all the Poogies as you venture through the world befriending (or battling) monsters.
They don't join your party in any way, but collecting them is a great way to earn bonuses when you check in with the Poogie you leave near one of your Stables. You get a bonus for every ten Poogies, so be sure to check in often if you're collecting! Each Poogie will also drop a few items itself, so it pays in many ways.
Poogies also give a set bonus when you first find them, which is often an item that'll be useful in your immediate area. Poogies ahead of major story moments give healing items, while Poogies just out in the world are more apt to give you resources.
You don't have to collect the Poogies in Monster Hunter Stories, but if you're already hunting down resources as you travel, you'll likely find several of them organically.
Once you have a few Poogies, you can even choose which Poogie stands near the stables to represent your access to the Poogiepedia, the log of all your Poogies in Monster Hunter Stories.
Tips For Finding Poogies
It's not often, though, that you'll find Poogies out in the open - they're usually pretty well hidden. If you come across an area that you need a monster with a Monstie Riding Action to access, it's pretty likely there's a Poogie at the end of the path you'll find yourself on.
Poogies also enjoy hiding off the beaten path, so if you notice an odd offshoot of a path you're on as you explore and progress the story, you'll want to deviate for a moment to check it out. Even if it's not a Poogie back there, you'll find plenty of helpful resources for the trouble.
Occasionally, the Poogies can blend into these resources, but since it's always a good idea to be stocking up on the naturally occuring resources in the world, you'll occasionally be surprised when quickly grabbing things - some Poogies are well-disguised.
