1) Wiki Forest Minotaur and Bladed Aatxe.

2) Wiki Abyssal and Jungle Troll.

The others are different enough (or in the case of the beetle, a popular enough request) to justify their inclusion in this year's set. The Roaring Ether is a changed Temple Guardian, yes, but it at least has the fiery insides that make it look unique. The Forest Minotaur and the Abyssal, however, were probably not requested by a damn soul, and are barely more than palette swaps of the Aatxe and the Jungle Troll. Let's not even mention how cheap the Aatxe and Jungle Troll are to purchase in town these days if one decided they wanted one.

Fact remains that there are lots of unused 'unique' candidates to fill in for those two spots. That ANet didn't even consider just how similar these two are to already-existing minis - easily-available cheapo minis - is something to get perturbed about. Don't kiss the butt of poor decision-making. The Forest Minotaur and The Abyssal are lazy choices for inclusion. No other way about it. Granted, the Abyssal is probably cooler than the Jungle Troll but ANet could just overwrite the existing Jungle Trolls with Abyssals if they felt the need to have them in the game. If ANet really wanted something from Kryta included in the minipet list, they could've chosen a White Mantle representative or a Fog Nightmare (Nightmares have been popular requests too) over the Forest Minotaur. Hell, a mini Yerk Plopsquirt (Krytan Mergoyle boss ) or even just a plain Mergoyle in the Forest Mino's place would've been fine.

EDIT: I don't want to give the impression that I have a problem with the entire Year 3 set. Other than the Forest Troll and the Abyssal, I'm pretty satisfied with the list overall.

Fact is, they're not frickin reskins. You can disagree with the decision to include them if you want, but getting all, "OMG ANet is so lazy!" is ridiculous, because they didn't save any effort or time by making an Abyssal over any other mini.

That's not directed at you, but at the other people who are all huffy about the minis being similar, as if the fact that the monsters they're based on are reskins of other mini-mobs makes the creation of the new minis any easier.

Well, as I stated much earlier in this thread, it's not the "reskin effect" that I'm concerned about. I just think with limited mini slots to use, ANet should be aiming for as much uniqueness as possible with each and every slot (barring popular requests).

I love mini-pets! Roaring Ether, Mad King Thorn, Ooze, Cave Spider and the rest. I really hope that the White Rabbit is a mini.

Thanks to those that take the time to go through the .dat files.

I can see the Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh mini coming into my collection soon, hopefully. I'll have to wait for the hype and the price to drop first, but it would be a nice friend to have for my other minis.

Plus, whenever they get hit by anything, the "flashing" effect that occurs when monsters are struck with attacks turns them into a giant yellow cube.

Annoying...

I vote for a mini shard wolf, along with any of the crystal enemies from Dragon's Lair. And more importantly, Glint and a wurm*preferably Cyndr Maw or a junundu*!
