Hey all, I was just looking at the edit(s) that Kida155 made and undid on the Pygmy Staff page; this gave rise to a thought that also occurred to me a few days ago.

Overview
Should we create two (or more) separate categories for the different classifications of summoning items?
 * Boss summoning items, these started the category. (e.g.: Mechanical Eye)
 * Pet summoning items. (e.g.: Wisp in a Bottle)
 * Minion summoning items. (e.g.: Pygmy Staff)

Comparisons
Without a doubt, I think boss summoning items need their own category. These are a type of item all to themselves, as they have one specific purpose, are consumed on use, etc. However, I can see reason for the latter two to make one category, yet also reasons for them to be separate.

Pets

 * Either cosmetic (they have no impact on any actual gameplay)
 * or Utility (they have a specific function or purpose, good example.)

Minions

 * Specifically geared towards offence (meant to attack enemies or protect the player - Pygmy Staff or Frost Hydra Staff.)

Summary
With those defining features, I think it may be a good idea to separate them. I created this thread with the idea of gathering as many opinions as I could, as this would change the way a good few of the items on the wiki would be organized (44 in category at this point in time).
