I actually like the shakalakas because of the help they give outside of physical attacks and armor upgrades. the shakalakas like cha cha..and more likely then not kayanaba, perform dances to heal you, act as a sonic bomb, act as a flash bomb, bestow you with attack power aswell as the mask abilities to act as a grill for you, act as a mixing pot so you don't make garbage, and as a torch so you don't have to bring one, on top of that they come with a felyne mask to make it go bomb crazy haha.. however they don't have armor or weapons upgrades like the felynes they can be bestowed with up to two ailments and abilities so its a nice balanced effect.. not "cute" but still highly effective as a comrade. .
