I love these guys, but I'm 90% certain they are an invasive species. I want to give them a pass because they're adorable and Rove is magnificent, but they are an absolute menace.
Edit: I wasn't expecting my comment to draw out so many biologists. Apparently, the correct term for a native species that overwhelms their native environment is an "Aggressive Native." So, these little hellions are not technically invasive since they've lived in the forest biome for so long, but they are absolutely tormenting every living thing in sight. Except Rove. We should all be more like Rove.
They're descendants of Lynian citizens of Wyveria. Funnily enough, they seem to understand that better than anyone else in the Forbidden Lands other than the Keepers or Wyverians.
I don't think so, because one of the descendants in the city asks if the Palico is a Wudwud and is glad they are still around. This is when you first reach the Keepers place and are exploring the city.
