It's not the size of the summons that bugs me, it's the location. One of the things I loved about Carby was that she stayed on the ground. She didn't float around my head, like some annoying, oversized mosquito. The worst part of the floaters is when they float between me (the RL player) and my character, essentially blocking my view of pretty much everything onscreen.

Even when they stay off to the side, they float/bounce/hover and are basically distracting. I just want to swat them away.
