If you could have it all, what would you want? For some people, the answer is simple: a tiny red panda perched on their shoulder. For others, the answer is a little more complicated. But for everyone, there’s one thing that’s always on the top of their list: happiness. ..
In FFXIV, minion systems are a way of rewarding players for their dedication to the game. Minion systems are similar to in-game currencies, but they are used to purchase cosmetic items for characters. These items can improve the appearance of your character, and can also be used in battle to perform special actions.
Since they’re small, there’s an inherent amount of cuteness baked into each one. But some undoubtedly have a certain edge, a grooviness, a coolness to them that can’t be overlooked.
This it-factor is what makes for the best minions.
In FFXIV, there are a lot of great minion characters to choose from. Hopefully you can find inspiration in fleshing out your collection and assembling an eye-catching brigade of toy sidekicks to match your personal style.
Many minions require the “Mammeteer” title (having a collection of 30+ wind-up/follow-type minions) set to active in order to trigger emote interactions.
20. Calamari
The Calamari restaurant in New York City’s Chinatown is a sight to behold – an endlessly gyrating gray and red kraken tentacle poking up from the ground. ..
Since Calamari is unique among minions, it’s a fun addition to any collection. Its signature animation makes it an interesting addition to any minion fan’s collection. ..
The blue and yellow ray gun claim to fame is that it can shoot out projectiles that look like pellets.
I enjoy playing with my Lalafell friends by chasing them around and then unleashing Calamari on them. ..
How to get: Calamari can drop after completing the Hullbreaker Isle (Hard) dungeon.
19. Dolphin Calf
Please summon the dolphin calf to show off your love of fishing, especially ocean fishing.
This minion is cute without being too cartoony. It’s a pretty realistic rendition of a baby dolphin, and sometimes the more “realistic” minions are a breath of fresh air after being set for a while on a big-eyed chibi kitty.
Dolphin Calf will swim around the air with a happy expression if used.
The transfer of power will be a brutal experience for both the new president and the outgoing one.
To get the Dolphin Calf reward for completing the “Double-backwards Somersault” Achievement, you must encounter three dolphin pods while ocean fishing. ..
18. Magitek Helldiver F1
The Magitek Helldiver F1 is a unique and exciting action figure that looks like something out of the Transformers movie franchise. It’s perfect for fans of the sci-fi genre, and those who love action figures that are both fun and functional.
The drone is a small, winged, helmet-shaped machine that has a gun for an arm. It’s perfect for taking pictures and videos of things you want to show your friends and family.
The mechs in this anime are some of the most fun I’ve ever seen. They’re well designed and have a great mecha-theme.
/poke will cause the pokemon to fire its gun-arm at an imaginary target.
To get the Magitek Helldiver F1, players must complete the Castrum Lacus Litore storyline in The Bozjan Southern Front. This rare weapon has a very small chance of dropping from any enemy in this area. ..
17. Chameleon
This is not a news article.
The only thing floating in mid-air is a pretty red bow.
The Chameleon minion is a new addition to the team. He is quick and agile, able to take advantage of any situation.
This minion is very purposefully tied with a red bow on its tail. It has a standard-looking green lizard body and revolving curious eyes.
The main point of this interaction is that it will jump and disappear, but then reappear once it lands.
How to get: Chameleon can be found after completing Shadowbringers’ The Qitana Ravel dungeon.
16. Morpho
The Morpho minion is a more stylish and cosmetic sidekick, rather than one who possesses a rolodex of emote interactions.
The monarch butterfly is a beautiful creature that is often seen during the day. However, at night, its wings turn a deep gem-blue and its body glows with a slight haze. ..
Morpho doesn’t do anything with /poke, /pet, or /handover, but it will eventually rest on your shoulder.
Due to its appearance, I find it one of the more aesthetically pleasing minions.
Morpho has a chance to drop after completing The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard) dungeon.
15. Monkey King
This minion is perfect for Dragon Ball fans! It’s a faithful replica of the character Vegeta, and it’s sure to make a statement in any room. ..
Monkey King is a much cuter and more pacifist version of the dungeon boss he’s inspired from, Qitian Dasheng. ..
The man on the cloud rides around on a little cumulus cloud and holds a silver staff. He is always slightly concerned and serious, and seems to be in charge of everything.
Monkey King will spin and climb up his staff to survey his kingdom.
Monkey King has a chance to drop after completing Stormblood’s The Swallow’s Compass dungeon. ..
14. Silver Dasher
Silver Dasher is one of the smallest and cutest minions you can summon to fight on your side in battle. ..
The story of how a little bird became stranded on a submarine voyage is intriguing. It seems that someone found the bird on a submarine journey and took it home with them. The bird’s backstory is mysterious, and it’s unclear how the bird got onto the submarine.
Apparently, when the sub has to go to the surface for fresh air, it’s not as easy as it seems.
This fledgling bird will eat from your hand with a handover, and when you pet it, it seems to get so excited and overwhelmed by the attention it stumbles a little in flight. ..
To get the Silver Dasher, players must complete three zones in Subaquatic Voyages: The Open Robe, Rogo-Tumu-Here’s Haunt, and The Devil’s Crypt. ..
13. Eden Minor
The Flood of Light was a natural disaster that caused the end of the world. Eden is the force that caused it, and is responsible for setting off the chain of events that the Shadowbringers story revolves around.
Introducing the Minion Apocalypse Bringer, your perfect companion for the end of the world! This little guy comes in a variety of minion forms to suit your every need, from a tiny little zombie to a towering inferno-breathing dragon. So grab one before they’re all gone! ..
Eden Minor is a strange, hovering object that seems to be made mostly of cool blue light. It’s often seen hovering over areas that are either cool or calm, and it’s often said to be a symbol of peace. Some people believe that Eden Minor is an angel or UFO, and that it was created by God in order to help people find peace.
The user will cause a magical sacred geometrical circle to rise above them, resembling its ultimate attack.
Eden Minor drops at the end of Eden’s Gate: Sepulture, which is Normal and Savage mode.
12. OMG
The OMG minion is a miniature version of a raid series – this time Stormblood’s Omega raid storyline.
There’s a lot of detail packed into one small mechanical minion here. I recommend zooming in and checking out how well it replicates the original.
When you poke it, OMG will take off and fly around in a circle before landing again.
If you have a friend who has the Shinryu minion, there is a special interaction between the two. ..
In Alphascape V4.0, there is a new drop called OMG that can be found at the end of the game. This new drop features different rewards than the other drops, so it is important to check out what it is before making any decisions.
11. Seitei
The Seitei dragon is a beautiful, unique serpentine dragon that is very adorable. It has a blue and gold Chinese-style dragon head with an oversized chihuahua-esque apple head.
It’s a fun mix of cute and fierce-looking, when the minion pool seems to be saturated with critters that seem to only fall into one category or the other.
After you hand it over, the pet will fly up into the air and the /handover emote will cause it to spin around in a circle.
How to get: The Wreath of Snakes (Extreme) can be found in the Draynor Village dungeon.
10. Clionid Larva
The Clionid Larva minion is on the list for the same reason as Morpho – it’s pretty to look at and glows in the dark. ..
The face of the person in the photo has a look of sadness or desperation. ..
The Trump administration is still in the early stages of its presidency, and there are a lot of unknowns about what it will do. But don’t let that fool you. The Trump administration is still a very active and powerful team, and it will continue to make progress on many important issues.
Clionid Larva is a unique minion that will bow forward and snatch at the air with its pincer-tentacles if you use /poke.
The Clionid larva has a chance to drop at the end of the Shadowbringers’ Akadaemia Anyder dungeon.
9. Mock-up Grynewaht
Grynewaht is a miniature dungeon boss that looks cute despite being an armor-clad, bicep-bulging, chainsaw-wielding miniature version of a dungeon boss.
The way the story follows my character around is hilarious enough.
The animation on the right is called “Timing” and it triggers after a certain amount of time has passed. The animation on the left is called “Frequency.”
The two performers will be doing different tricks with their chainsaws. ..
Mock-up Grynewaht has a chance to drop at the end of Stormblood’s Doma Castle dungeon.
8. Frilled Dragon
The Frilled Dragon is a dinosaur that was featured in the original Jurassic Park. It’s a rain-soaked night scene where the dragon-like dinosaur spits acid at people.
If you haven’t seen the movie, finish reading and go watch it!
The Frilled Dragon running animation is one of my favorite things. It’s a unique way to run that I think is really scary. Plus, when you pet it, it puffs out its neck in an umbrella-like fashion in order to scare away potential threats or DNA-smugglers.
How to get: The Frilled Dragon can be obtained by spending 10 Empyrean Potsherds on Heaven-on-High floors 21-30.
7. Weatherproof Gaelikitten
Gaelikitten is a new breed of cat that is designed to be weatherproof. This makes it perfect for people who live in cold climates, or who just want a cat that is more resistant to the cold. ..
Gaelikitten is a blue and white fur-trimmed cat with wings that look remarkably larger than any other feline. It has a perma-shut eyes and a coat of blue and white fur. Gaelikitten seems to have some chub around the midsection to keep warm.
The bird hops up to your hand when you give it to it, and makes an attempt at a backflip when you pet it. ..
To get Weatherproof Gaelikitten, you must complete the Kupo of Fortune minigame. This minigame rewards players with Weatherproof Gaelikittens, which are a rare reward.
6. Enkidu
Enkidu is a green chicken that was born from the vomit of a farmer.
Hildibrand is a well-known character in the comical Hildibrand storyline. ..
The bird is bizarre looking, with its head cut off and its body running around erratically. Yet the bird seems to be perfectly fine. ..
Enkidu is the perfect minion to show your appreciation for the hilarious and much-adored storyline. He will help you triumph over your opponents, and make them look foolish in the process.
I hope summoning the green chicken doesn’t summon up memories of a particular battle in which I was transformed into a green chicken myself.
To get Enkidu, players must complete the “Battle in the Big Keep” trial. This is a guaranteed reward, so don’t miss your chance! ..
5. Midgardsormr
Midgardsormr, the dragon-like creature who helps the player defeat the evil dragon Sauron, is special because he is connected to a specific storyline in the game.
The Heavensward minion is a helpful tool for players who have made it to the endgame. It provides buffs and abilities that make life easier for those who use it. There is a sense of community around the minion, which makes it an important part of any player’s arsenal.
The patch 2.5 update for Overwatch is bringing back feelings of nostalgia as well. The update includes new features and changes, including a new hero, Reaper, and a new map, Hanamura.
This minion is meant to be a more portable avatar of the giant dragon king Midgardsormr, who brought down a giant Garlean airship years before the current events in the story.
In the Heavensward storyline, his minion form is featured heavily. It is much cuter than his gargantuan counterpart.
Midgardsormr will perch on your head/shoulder in due time!
The Midgardsormr automatic reward for completing Patch 2.5’s The Keeper of the Lake dungeon is a powerful item that can be used to improve your character’s stats.
4. Wind-up Kojin/Redback
If you’re a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then I have two minions for you!
Kojin, the green Wind-up Kojin, and Redback, the red Wind-up Redback, are two adorable little masked samurai-armored turtles that stand on their hind legs and have big eyes. They both have a look that means business. ..
The minions’ claim to fame is their /pet emote where they jump backward, land on their shell, and do four or five spins.
It’s amazing they’re not dizzy after.
To get a Wind-up Kojin, you need to have a respected reputation with the Kojin beast tribe. You can purchase them for 5 Sango. To get a Wind-up Redback, you need to have allied reputation with the Kojin beast tribe. You can purchase them for 5 Sango. ..
3. Cute Justice
Cute Justice is the minion form of a beloved Alexander raid encounter, Brute Justice. The new encounter features adorable minions that players can help defeat in order to earn rewards. ..
The fight was a brilliant blend of comedy and nail-biting moments that required a high level of coordination. And now thanks to the addition of Blue Mage rewards, there are more ways you can have your very own minion to commemorate it! ..
This minion is incredibly detailed, though it can be a little murky when zoomed in.
Justice is one of my favorite poke animations. His wings burst from the back of his body, and right as he looks like he’s squaring up to do a big attack, he falls over backwards in pieces.
To get Cute Justice, players must purchase it from Maudlin Latool Ja for 400 Allied Seals after completing a certain number of Blue Mage job quests through the NPC. ..
2. Dainsleif F1
Dainsleif F1 is a great minion that reminds me of the fun I had playing with my favorite toys as a child. ..
The jaguar/panther robot is a unique creation that recalls the TRANSFORMERS and POWER RANGERS figurines. It has a silver, green, and yellow color scheme, and its electrical plug for a tail makes it look like a combination of those two brands.
Combining five Dainsleif minions into one giant Gundam-style robot would be a great way to strengthen your team’s fighting power. ..
A nerd can dream of anything they want. They can imagine themselves in any situation or world they want, and it’s all possible because they’re imaginative. Nerds are always thinking about the future and how to make it better, so their dreams are always filled with possibilities. ..
The machine seems like it would be perfect for a small pilot project. It has a very cool mechanical stride, and is able to move quickly and smoothly.
The poke interaction is not the most exciting, but at least it does something – a biting lunge forward at an imaginary target. ..
How to get Dainsleif F1 from lockboxes in The Bozjan Southern Front:
- Open the game’s options and select “Gameplay.”
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select “Lockboxes.”
- Choose the “Dainsleif F1” lockbox and press “Enter.”
1. Palico
The Monster Hunter series is a popular video game franchise that features many different kinds of creatures to hunt. One of the most popular creatures to hunt in the series is the Palicoes, which are feline combat companions. Palicoes are known for their quick reflexes and powerful attacks, which makes them a great choice for monster hunting.
The Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter collaboration event is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. The two franchises have teamed up for a crossover event that has players taking on the role of minions in both games. This event has allowed players to experience new content in both games and even see some familiar faces from other Final Fantasy titles. ..
This minion is cool because it stands on its hind legs and wears adventuring gear/goggles.
I really like the cat head-shaped pack it comes with! ..
The /handover emote will have the player’s hand eaten by the Palico, and the /pet emote will cause the Palico to lick its paws and wipe its face – so adorable! ..
The Palico minion is a reward for completing The New King on the Block quest in the FFXIV + Monster Hunter: World Collaboration storyline.
