What Type Of Companions Would You Like To See?

So, everyone probably has their ideal companion, reguardless of what it is they do, what would you like them to be?

Top for me would probably be, in no particular order:
1. A white tiger or snow leapard..or white cat in general.
2. A polar Bear.
3. Id like to say a Nymph-type-thing, that has an animation of erupting into a bunch of flowers and leaves and then reformalizing. But, im not sure if a nymph would be to...'provocative' or anything.
4. A ferret.
5. A Barnowl, i want a bubo

So fellow neverwinter players, what companions would you like to see? Would they fit your backstory, would you like them purely for cosmetics? Id like to know :3 I personally cant wait for a new lockbox!

    I would like to see more defender and healer companions, and possibly some actual controller companions as well. Here are some ideas I have:

    1. A Dryad companion that heals you, (maybe causes some sort of flower to sprout which heals allies near it), and which can perhaps entangle enemies.

    2. I believe I once saw one of those Gloomwrought animated armors that had a sword and shield - that'd make an awesome defender companion.

    3. We have an Alchemy profession - how about an alchemist companion that throws potions at enemies that deal damage or debuff/control them, and ones at us that heal and buff.

    4. Add a selection of horse companions that coincide w/ the horse mounts - give them a basic attack where they rear up on their back legs, and come down hard with their front ones, and another where they turn away from their target and kick hard with their back legs. The 1st attack could have a small chance to knock the enemy down, and the 2nd could have a slightly higher chance to knock the enemy back.

    5. A rogue companion that could go into stealth and do things like drop smoke bombs or maybe event set traps would be awesome.

    Bio's list sounds great, but there is one I have to add.

    Mimic companion.

    yeah, Bio's is all gold.

    I would also like to see:

    -Faerie Dragon: would make a good controller companion with it's euphoric gas breath weapon.

    -Wyrmling/hatchling dragons of various colours (this isn't weird, good dragons will often foster young, and even evil ones will encourage this to promote evil/chaos)

    -Nymph wouldn't be bad, we already got some 'interesting' animations with the sylph. On that note, succubus companions would be neat, and would make a nice controller companion (charms).

    These would all be great sellers in the zen market.

    My requests for companions are more feature oriented rather than for new companions.

    I'd like to see the current companions become more customized. By that I mean I'd like to see a way to change fighting companions into augment companions.

    I'd also like to see mount & companions combined. Imagine mounts that transform into fighting companions when you dismount. (If they were also equipped as a companion.)

    If it's still running, I highly recommend the IGN promotion - for like $7 you get an account-wide green-quality cleric companion.

    Thanks Bioshrike... i already got that one in addition to the assassin and founder pack wolf... trying to get my hands on the Logitech wizard. It's just that single purchase companions seem to be a bit of a waste for the asking price.

    Definitely more animals. With the ranger coming out that would be only logical :) And yes, human(oid) companions is not sexy :(

    As long as augments are as good as they are and much better than any standard companion it doesn't matter to me because the only thing I do when I grab a new companion is levelling him in Sharandar campaign and switch to the augment when I run dungeons.

    I would like to see a companion that spawns adds >.>

    But really, a companion that summons other things to battle for it with some actual controller function would be nice. A rogue that can actually disarm traps as part of its rather minor functionality. More leaders with decent healing abilities and defenders.

    Mime Companion.
    While the enemy is standing there trying to figure out what the mime is doing, you kill the enemy.

    companions should get more utility i think, for instance, like azlanfox said, have the companion, depending on type, able to interact with the world in certain ways. rogues could disarm traps or set up temporary traps that you can lead enemies into. dedicated healers should most definitely be able to heal your allies as well as themselves. also you should be able to open up skill nodes using your companions (if they're humanoid of course) like have a sylph or sprite open the nature nodes, or a rogue type open thievery nodes.

    some actual controller types would be great, have a minor control attack and a more powerful aoe control attack for them to make them actually able to live up to their role.

    I also would like to see companions be able to upgrade their weapons and armor with enchantments much like players can, i know we have runestones to augment their abilities, but they only go so far before even at lvl 10 (which is a huge investment) the runestones aren't enough to keep the companion alive for very long

    but i digress, the companions i'd like to see in the game are

    1. any Shardmind companion, maybe a psion or some other psionic based class
    2. lots more animals, i personally want a cat companion like in this picture: http://www.worldofazolin.com/wiki/images/1/10/Half-Elf_Druid.jpg
    3. a Bulette companion
    4. a Harpy
    5. any Drake

    i could go on, but the collected D&D monster manuals has so many candidates i could list dozens maybe even hundreds

    first id like to +1 for gel cube, Mimic, owl (everyone is fond of owls),bulette and chatty skull.

    id like to see more augment pets, since no one respects normal pets at level 60. small animals, tiny creatures, chatty skulls

    id love to see pets from winning gold in certain zone events (x number of times).
    spy catcher could get you a spy, also...Memphit, will o wisp, spirit wolf...

    I loved the arenae but the box was just out to short of a time for the AH prices to drop.
    id love to see more shifters.. maybe a changeling that randomly looks like pets you have in your idle list or like your alts...or you.
    it would be awesome if you could get your alts as pets ...for a price.

    more flyers, doves, parrots, wasps, butterflies,

    specific pets I looking forward to, Fox, . umber-hulk, baby unicorn, walking plant

    I would like mount/combat ready companions. NPCs have them why can't we? :rolleyes:

    If not I settle with a Beholder :cool:

    Also would totally empty my pockets if all companions/mounts where account bound. Yes I'm a hoarder lol :p

    This the companion I want hard lol

    Righteous Troll Paladin
    Description: This very uncommon troll agreed to help you in your journey to "give good" and "inflict justice" in the name of Tempus!

    Abilities:
    1) Inflict justice - The Righteous Troll charges at your enemies generating extra threat.
    2) Give good - Stikes a target in a cone dealing damage
    3) Unstoppable (hehe, Righteous actually) Trolling - "Inflict Justice" now knocks the target prone and Righteous Troll's regeneration stat is increased by 50%. (this one unlocks at lvl 30)

    And it's look made by khimera906 :P
