Yeah I've suggested this too in the past and it makes too much sense to not be at least tried out. Nearly all the models used for mounts have corresponding battle/casting animations for their enemy types and could be used just fine in the Companion system. "But it's called Choco Cure", ok rename it to Pet Cure or Buddy Heal or some such thing. Add some actual teeth to the Tank and DPS trees and we could have ourselves some fun side content or at least more customization options for the actually dead content that is Companions.
