Really obvious suggestion for Witch AT

I've had a search but nobody seems to have suggested this yet, which surprises me immensely as it seems really obvious to me. I don't have a breakdown of the Witch AT's powers & I'm not running one at present so I may be wrong in assuming the AT doesn't have pets. If it does that would be even better, but at the moment I'm thinking more on lines of a unique to the Witch Hex attack to stun or make mobs cower:

ahhem, WINGED MONKEYS. (Tadaa.) A swarm of spectral winged simians swoop down on opponents, causing them to falter and even cower in terror! As the power is levelled up it grants additional winged monkeys and generates more fear.

If the AT does have pets, that'd work even better IMO.

-A pair of winged apes in (it would have to be) matching red bell-hop uniforms assisting the witch in attacking foes with attacks that cause fear. Obviously it'd be a lovely additional touch and nod to the Baum books if one of the pair of winged monkeys is modelled clutching a crown in its paw (as glimpsed briefly in the Wizard of Oz, and I've always surmised was supposed to be the crown that grants control of the Winged Monkeys).

Alternatively a winged monkey power or pets would be a nice addition to the powers available to Freeform magic toons or maybe as a limited device.

This is the first time I've had the temerity to make a suggestion so, please , be gentle with me!

    Except the Witch AT is designed more as a Shaman and not as the Witch from Wizard of Oz​​

    OP didn't say winged monkeys have to be a thing just for the Witch AT. It's a fun idea even if it doesn't get added to the AT. Besides, isn't this a game that's supposed to encourage creativity? OP saw something else with their imagination.

    Because no one ever disagreed or objected to dev intent when it hurts creativity...​​

    Why must all witches be printed from the exact same template, though?​​
    (Hopefully) Useful CO Resources: HeroCreator (character planner), Cosmic Timers/Alert Checklist, Blood Moon Map, Anniversary Cat Map, and more (eventually, anyway).
