I know you're probably going to ignore me, and I am probably the millionth person to say this, but I think pets would be cool. They rarely spawn in their respective biomes, and you can get there essence by fighting them, and showing you are worthy. The pets MIGHT be like mini bosses, since you want to feel good when you finally get there essence, which you can use with other ingredients, to craft, and conjure up a pet. You don't want it to be like this: "Oh hey, I got my 13th pet today! Pile it on the others!"

I also think there should be a vendor, like a beast master, who sells healing items for the pets, like dog biscuits or slime food, and also maybe the pets have requirements, like the NPC's. Just a thought. Use it or not :)
