    Suggestion: Rare Crafted minions from fishing

    I was thinking about what I want to do with my island before the patch actually drops. I've arrived at "robotic minion island" and as I was going through the minions to determine how many I think would qualify a thought occurred to me:

    Aquamaton minion
    Use the fish plus some various materials to "refurbish" it into a minion.

    Aquamaton was my nemesis when finishing up the requirements for the Big Fish title and I kept the darn thing on one of my retainers so I was pleased as punch to see it being added to the list of fish viewable in Aquariums. But now I think it'd be even cooler if we could also use a caught Aquamaton as in ingredient to create a Aquamaton minion as well since the model now exists for it to be viewable in the Aquarium.

    And while the Aquamaton was kinda obvious one since it's a robot and it "makes sense" it could be crafted with Armorer or Goldsmith... mebbe later on some of the other unique big fish from previous expansions could also made into minions via Alchemist of Culinarian. Say we're using alchemical magicks or a delicious meal to a) tame the fish and/or b) make it so they can breathe out of water and float around in the air

    I think some prime candidates would be:
    ARR - Cupfish, Syldra, Nepto Dragon, Armorer, Twitchbeard, Discobolus, Zalera, Octomammoth
    HW - Charibenet, Captain Nemo, Sea Butterfly, Meteortoise, Bloodchaser, Aetherochemical Compound #666, Opabinia, Hailfinder
    SB - The Unconditional, Warden of the Seven Hues, The Vegetarian, The Ruby Dragon, Lily of the Veil, Rising Dragon
    ShB - Ondo Sigh, The Mother of All Pancakes, Ealad Skaan, Cinder Surprise, Listracanthus, Winged Dame, Aster Trivi (and Aquamaton ofc)
    EW - Hippo Frog, Foun Ahlm, Forbiddingway

    Alternatively (or in addition) Crafted mounts?

    Since some of these fish are suggested to be fantastically large perhaps they (including some I already mentioned) would be better suited as crafted mounts instead...

    For example:
    The Old Man in the Sea, Nepto Dragon, Basking Shark, Problematicus, Stethacanthus, The Ruby Dragon, Sweetheart, Listracanthus, and Lancetfish

    I would like something more than an ink print for the trophy fish, yeah. I still hold onto The Ruby Dragon in case they ever want to allow them to get into an aquarium. Might need a tier 5 for that one though...
