minions as potential companions?

With Yokai watch and more minions in the game. What are your opinions if they decide to add a function where they make a minion as a possible companion? Not really in the way as our chocobo but more as them having one ability that they will use on a set timer depending on the skill. With Verminion, each minion do have a skill and they continue to add more with each new minion, even if some are just copy and pasted. Granted they would have to tweek some abilities, like the Wind-up Onion Knight giving hallowed ground for 6 seconds every 10 mins is not that special but the feeling of a healer having it as a hunt area wipes everyone but you, would feel sweet. A pudgy puk inflicting slow on an enemy for 15 secs every 2 mins, by being pudgy. or even a chocobo hatchling just bashing away every 60 secs being cute is enough for people to look for it at level 1 instead of it collecting dust in your minion log. It would bring more variety to the game and give another testing ground for having companions in the world. They are small enough that not having detailed animations would not be a big deal and not having auto attack is an option. It would use resources that they already use in the game. It would give more incentive to run content for these guys. what are everyone's thoughts?
