Could we ever have large animals or mounts as minions?

After meeting and loving Blitzen and getting him as a mount in the 2022 Starlight event quest, I realized how much I'd love it if he could be summoned and follow us around just like a minion does (in his full size instead of a small minion version) and wanted to request something like this be considered. I think a lot of the animals in the world including our mounts would make neat friends to have accompanying us in the world, especially with how fun it is to see your chocobo appear by your side when it's summoned after you dismount it and vice versa. I think it would be amazing to be able to summon some of the fauna that inhabit the world in place of our minions and would be very grateful to see this feature implemented.

I already have several minions taller than I am.

Tsukyomi minion is practically the same size as my max height male lala.

I'd have liked minions to be just pets, but that's not what they are so they obviously just didn't want them to be big.

This is a good point. You can become a lalafell and then they are "large animals" because some of them might be bigger than you.

I'd rather have some of the mounts be turned into fighting companions than regular sized, but behave as a minion.

Every city, FATE, and hunt train shall be suffocated by dozens of Indigo Whales.

Give me a mini tank minion that fires so I can make it shoot at all the limsa people
