Minion (Final Fantasy XIV)

Minions are vanity pets that can be summoned by the player in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. They are usually baby or mini versions of existing characters, monsters or objects from Eorzea. While most of them serve no specific purpose other than vanity, some of them can be used for specific purposes such as providing illumination. It's also worth noting that some minions have special interactions with minions from other players such as dancing or fighting. A minion guide exists within the game explaining the lore about the minions featured in the game.
