Been mentioned before, but would really like a pseudodragon companion.
Don't be afraid to mention a companion that's already in this list. The more one does, the more they move the companion up the list. Just by telling me you'd like to see a pseudodragon, you moved it to the third most requested list. :-). I will update the lists themselves once I'm back on my computer.

The brain doggies, whatever they are called. I think they would make for a good companion.
The Ghost from Closed Beta was kinda cool. Wonder if they plan on bringing that back.

I think some things should never be "tamed," such as the Tarrasque.
Even though everyone would like to ride a dragon,
"There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child. " - King Osric
ie, everyone gets a dragon, they lose appeal and kill off the meaning...breaking the immersion D&D should have.

Ill vote Rust assuming it would decrease enemy armor by the look of it?
Still the big issue is that they need to really give companions more power, currently strikers for example are joke. Augments, cleric and tank companions help at least some. While i think overall companion AI, overall effectiveness needs to improve. Considering how much you can sink to companions they should stand out more the least they can do is buff them a lot if player is solo. While then again seen lvl 60 content i doubt companions can do much at that point.
Thought serious until I read that.... not immersive breaking at all...
"Miniature giant space hamster" is really just what Minsc, a character from the Baldur's Gate series, calls his pet hamster. I'm not sure what the meaning is behind it, but I assume that it means the hamster himself is little in stature but has a big heart (or mind). It doesn't have to be immersion breaking. I can imagine that he would just sit on your shoulder when active, and all stats that you apply to him through augments and equipment apply to you instead.
Giant space hamsters are, in fact, part of D&D. They are from the Spelljammer series.
Now weather or not Minsc actually had a miniature version of one, or weather he has endured far too much head trauma. Has been left unanswered and up for debate.

Minsc was a lillte touched in the head. Boo, was just a normal hamster who never actually went for the eyes..
I am pretty sure the story portrayed Minsc as a little loony.

Kobold union worker that carries extra bag space like the pack mule! Except he complains more. Disgruntled kobold union worker?
I dont know why, but this suggestion made me think of this...."Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But, at least there is symmetry."
A Bulette mount would be amusing now that they are down to large size instead of huge. I really like the ideas for the Companions that have bag space. That would be so handy.

I agree. I especially like the idea of a mimic follower who carries your stuff, though I can imagine it hopping (spelling?) around would get annoying after a while. Maybe if they added legs...
Really, I would settle for a wider variety of companions that do what the basic companions do now.
No new abilities or anything, just new skins so that we don't have a million female cleric clones in Protector's Enclave.
A dwarf cleric, maybe, and male and female options for both the human and the dwarf. A Tiefling wizard to go along with the existing Drow and, again, male and female options for both. A half-orc GWF, a half-elf GF, whatever.
Well, I'd really like for the Jagged Dancing Blade to have it's AI fixed. I'd love it even more if the skins were more distinct than "Nearly-Invisible, Floating Dagger", "Nearly-Invisible, Floating Dagger", and what I suspect are two more iterations of the same.
Long term? So much could be done. D&D has hundreds of monsters to draw upon, I'd wager you could find fans for any and every one of them. I'd like to see a Drider or spider of some kind (Blade, Phase, Tomb, whatever).
White tiger/with armor
T-Rex/Velociraptor
Devil Hound/Cerberus (omg would love this)
Burning Skeleton
Poison Axe/Blade Floating being cool you know
Pedo Bear <-this would be epic

One that doesn't cost me real money.
I also like the idea of Unicorn/Pegasus mounts as I am a MLP fan!
I salute you for having the guts to publicly (spelling?) state that your an MLP fan.
prefible menacing and deceiving with traps,
did I mention traps.
(noticed posting in wrong thread so...)
I vote hodded hunter elf companion or menacing wisp.
A forefather ghost would be kind of neat.
I was about say... how can doors and traps follow you? Also, thank you for the memories! I loved Labyrinth.

How about some skeletons, maybe a dog or wolf?

In this case: A useful for a cleric.
I don't want new companions, I want to be able to upgrade my white ones to purple.

Their name is Intellect Devourer.
That is how I saw them being implemented. Their strikes doing an armor debuff.

===================================================================================
As far as totally new companions go...
Pixie or Sprite
Pseudodragon
Skeleton or Zombie
Githyanki
Githzerai
Air/Earth/Fire/Water Archons
Duergar 'rebel'
A bear.
A few that spring to mind.
