There are a couple of minions and mounts in the files that are not on the Lodestone/Libra Eorzea Database. Historically this means that while they exist, they are not available to obtain until a future patch which adds them to the Lodestone.

White Cat name unsure

---

Flying Serpent (Sanuwa) Mount name unsure

---

Ishgardian Crested Barding

Ugh. Patch notes are down with the Lodestone Maintenance. It probably won't come up until after release, so I'll just wait until we have the data ready to update.

But it looks like there is 27 minions and 9 mounts to look forward to!

Updated 2 mounts. Haven't found many minions yet

Edit: found a couple of minions from the new hunt

Updated, thanks for the input.

I have a feeling the book minion might be a dungeon drop from the library. No idea about any of the others. Are we due a new summer event soon?
