When it comes to cats, most people might picture those furry little creatures with four legs scurrying around, and some peculiar folks might think of cat-eared girls, or even more bizarre, cat-headed beastmen...
But when we talk about the most suitable cat image for mining, it naturally falls to the Airou Cats from the Monster Hunter series.
Hunting, mining, gathering, cart pushing, cooking... Airou Cats can do it all! In fact, with the release of new versions, there's even a saying that Airou Cats are the real hunters, and hunters are just their lackeys.
Indeed, the Airou Cats in the game are formidable, capable of bipedal combat, wielding weapons to fight against Ancient Dragons as massive as mountains, and beyond that, they are octopuses of domesticity, their shadow reflected in all of the game's auxiliary functions outside of combat.
If there is one species that represents the perfect evolution of cats, the Airou Cats are naturally at the forefront.
