Why is your seikret such a jerk?

[Null Winter]

Let's point out up front that these feathery fiends are about as smart as people; they're fully capable of independent decision making in pathfinding and who they'll obey, they understand verbal and gestural language, they can read and interpret maps at a glance, etc. So, they are totally aware of their actions.

Your permanent seikret is introduced to you as being a moody troublemaker, so clearly he has a history of this kind of behavior.

Almost all the "Hunt complete!" animations involve him bullying your character and/or your enslaved feline:
Try to give your cat their first meal in days? The seikret snatches it up and dispassionately squats down while the cat cries starvation tears.
Read your journal? Nah, beak boy over here bites a chunk out of it and then pecks you until you give him attention.
Try to heft up your cat to re-enact Longcat? Nope, seikret gets bitey until you drop the cat, and then bodyslams your character with a dominant position.

Okay, maybe you've been bullied into submission, so you try the "Tend to seikret" gesture to keep this abusive magpie happy:
Give him some water? Empties your canteen.
Feed him some food? Dude tries to bite your hand off.
Brush him down? You get swatted in the face repeatedly with a tail, which may even be armored based on which gear you have him equipped with.

Trying to relax and fish? Nope, the feather duster is there, blocking your view of that giga rare Speartuna you're angling for.

Perhaps the better question is why your character tolerates all this instead of finding out which carves come off a seikret?

I know this is a satire, but I found all siekret interactions cute and funny.
You can hug his tail while he flail you around, or feint being a mean monster and lay on you, while your character giggles even during the rewards screen.
The animation is vivid and funny, I even got myself amused by the diva hand movements during her show, it's so expressive.

Also, cat deserves pain! I still remember all the times he could've saved me, but was fighting a small monster!

Hahaha, not in this game, my palico has the same name since portable 3rd, at first palicoes were nothing but a distraction for monsters, now they are a powerhouse!

And yet, the Guardian Seikrets in Wyveria, think that with their "pact mentality" they can take down all giant monsters that tower over them, and challenge them to fights, only to die in the end.

If they're as smart as humans, why didn't they bring a 10ft weapon with them, some flashbangs, some traps, etc, etc.?

Clearly not as smart as Humans.

Those are Guardian Seikrets; more ancient and probably rocking damaged clone genes.

Also, you try operating a HMG with no thumbs and foot long claws on the fingers you do have.

Didn't the palamute use weapons with their mouth tho? I thought that was kinda funny
