A lot of Monster Hunter fans are very series about fashion and looks, along with finding the strongest weapons and armor sets to take down monsters as fast as possible. Luckily, Monster Hunter Now, Niantic's mobile take on Capcom's flagship series, lets players customize their character with different hairstyles, makeup, colorations, and more. And even better, players can change their look for no cost or microtransaction foolery.
Monster Hunter Now fans can use this guide to learn how to change their appearance.
How to Change Character Appearance in Monster Hunter Now
To change the look of your hunter in Monster Hunter Now, follow these steps:
- Head to the main home screen of the application that shows the world map.
- Click on the hunter profile picture at the bottom-left hand corner of the screen.
- Click on 'Edit Appearance' at the bottom of the left list.
- Press on 'Randomize Appearance' to get a random creation.
- To make changes, pick one of the two body types.
- The next screen will allow hunters to change hairstyle, eye color, and add beauty marks, facial hair, and more.

Can You Hide Your Helmet in Monster Hunter Now?
In most modern Monster Hunter games that feature online support, players have the option to hide any headpiece they're wearing. This makes it so that players can see their hunter's face clearly. Sometimes helmets and other gear for the face/head, can be unappealing, but players still need to wear it for the stats. Unfortunately, some players might be disappointed to hear that there is currently no way to hide helmets in Monster Hunter Now.
Of course, Niantic might be able to add an option like that with a future patch, but for now, players will just need to deal with their armor's style, whether it's aesthetic or not.
Monster Hunter Now is available for mobile devices as a free download.
