Minions in Dats but not in official database (so not in game):

http://xivdbimg.zamimg.com/images/ic...000/004541.pngTender Lamb
http://xivdbimg.zamimg.com/images/ic...000/004562.pngTiny Colibri
http://xivdbimg.zamimg.com/images/ic...000/004573.pngBaby Zu



Well I think that is all the new minions identified now. Grand total of 69 minions released (not counting the 4 in the dats that aren't actually in game)

For other minions, please check out www.xiv-minions.com

The wind up sun minion come from the Isle of Umbra, there is a Magic Pot at the back where the bird mobs are, if you talk to it, it demands an elixir, trade it one for the sun minion.
The sun will change how high it floats when you /poke it :).

Any chance the Tiny Colibri comes from Sastasha? The boss dude who runs away 3 times has one of those squawking next to him during the fights.

Whoop! Good job. I got mine, but is seems to be a little bugged.

For those not sure where it is

There seems to be a rumour that op-opo drops from Brayflox (hard). There was one sold on Moogle.

Yep, the Opo Opo comes form Brayflox.

I think only the Mindflayer is the real missing one left. I have a feeling the other two will be like the first 4, not implemented yet.

People have suspicions that Mindflayer comes from ventures.

The sun's actually for lighting purposes for screenshots. That's why it stays stationary and can't be seen in Scroll Lock

The only problem is it vanishes with the UI when toggled off, thus rendering it useless (since toggling the UI off is for screenshots).
I'm pretty sure it's just bugged all around.

The light can still be seen, not the minion itself of course.

It's not bugged at all. It's a lighting source. You don't take a picture at a studio and include the lamps used in the picture.

What you're saying should happen

The only change I'd wish to see from this minion would be color options and intensity of the light using other emotes or extra moon/star/planet minions, since it doesn't reach very far, but is very strong if you're right on it. The ability to move it higher or lower is very nice, however.

I have a theory about the Tiny Colibri.

You know that chest off to the side right before the first boss in Brayflox Hard? It's guarded by 3 Colibri.

No one ever seems to grab that chest because it means fighting more mobs, and it usually has potions.

But I wonder if it's like the Fine Wax in Haukke Manor, which drops only like 10% of the time, and other times is potions.

Maybe the Colibri pet comes from there, since the Opo Opo pet comes from the final boss?

No groups ever want to grab that chest though :(

My apologies, I haven't used it at night at all so I never noticed the light stayed regardless of the minion texture. During the day it's almost unnoticeable. I thought it was just another minion.

Updated with mind flayer info

Well we now have 2 more of the unknown minions "found"

Also Baby Opo-opo will now be rolled on from opening chest

According to the Libra Eorzea, that chest only drops potions.

Supposedly the Plush Cushion was scheduled to be plushier in 2.28, anyone got an example of any change?

The only change I have noticed is that it now spawns directly underneath the person using it, instead of in front of them.

Heh, with my few minutes left to me before downtime, I rushed back in to see, and yes, the plush cushion is significantly plumper than before. It was just a sad, flat pancake before...but now!

Also...it wiggles now, lol.

Yeah the plush cushion is fluffier, moves if you walk near it (i think that's what triggers the movement), and flattens a little when someone steps over it.

Also the new /cpose while sitting on the floor seems to be perfectly made for the cushion.

That explains why it didn't look any fluffy-er to me; I only saw it while an fc member was sitting on top of it.
