Your knight could have small pets in the form of zombies, slimes, etc. and maybe even a pet battling system of training them and using unique powers similar to the full size mobs.

Snort
I am snorting all your drugs so you will not be able to.
Combat pets which fight alongside you would make battle too easy; it would fight for you and NPCs would be killing each other. That is stupid. However, in the previous link which I will repeat I believe I have created a system in which creating NPC allies is possible though the system proposed favors support tactics over using pets to chase enemies down to fight. There are also many restrictions and rules which prevent abuse yet significantly favor team participation. The system would also introduce a sudden need for UVs, meaning more crowns being spent on Punch seeing as craft spam would have a higher cost; it could potentially lower CE prices while introducing a new team based battle mechanic into the game allowing for more strategic gameplay for everyone to experience.
Normally I would have skipped to "get rid of this stupid thread" but since I created that I have a whole new take on the concept; not that I support the constant vomit people recreate with complete disregard to any of the derpbillion past threads with this exact same topic, but it is slightly possible under a different term. Punk.

Firstly I would like to say this is not Spiral Pokemon.
Pet pockets are fine, sure. Mecha knights, sure.
As for combative permanent pets... the answer from us is automatically 'no' unless your post is at least 5 sentences long, and even then only maybe.
The Suggestions forum is not psychic. You are going to have to go into more detail for us to see whether or not it is workable. We don't care if it looks like walloftext, we want to know what you want to come up with.
Just... whatever you do, don't say 'pets with healing abilities'. Unless you like being trolled.

pets are good
stop flamming about pets i saw you in many pet threads and everytime you flamme like: omg pets are stupid ,this is not pokemon QQ...

Pets are good maybe made animals how only follow you(not this [edited] from nonna)
more peopels want pets i hope they made pets in the game cause you will leave the game till the pets come out :D
so flamm so much you want but so many persons want pets and only 8-20 say no (about 100 +say yes or look at the open threads about pets+ the yes sayer and in other forums like german or spain...)

Pets don't fit, Spy. This isn't the lag-free Club penguin.
They are [retracted]. So what if there is only other languages, have we gotten them implemented though? Nonna's stuff is what we would get, so stop trying to promote something hated by most regulars.
Also, nice language, Eury SO would love that.

Hurr
Those "8-20" are only a few of the more experienced users who are on the forums. The "100 +" are the infinite newcomers who have no idea how the game works and suggest anything that drips out of their nostrils. You may as well compare what children (12-) want against what adults (20+) want when it comes to worldwide changes. The children would be more prone to selfish requests while the adults are more likely to work together because they are more experienced in reality.

Not Nonna and Petrode
What about companion pets like mewkats or mini-greavers or silkwings or snipes that follow you around and do nothing? (I picked these because they fly)

Think about Al Queda (or however you sell it). The entire organization (some thousand peoples) want to destroy America. Just because a lot of people want that, does that mean it's a good idea? No.

@Thespychecker: The reason why so many of these pet threads are dismissed is because they are poorly thought out - in fact, a lot of suggestions threads are poorly thought out. We cannot in all honesty say that an idea is good if we have a minimal quantity of information about it. In addition, quite a lot of pet threads are OP - having pets that are able to use standard knight weapons and armour would be devastating, and having pets that can heal the knights constantly would make the game considerably easier than it currently is. We don't want the pets to be able to do all the work, either, so pets with strong combative abilities need a lot of thinking in order for them to be usable.
Some of them are good, well-balanced ideas. It's just that they are in the minority, and quite a few people around Suggestions are sick of seeing the same old poorly-thought-out threads without any new ideas. The Engineer concept of robot companions as weapon-type items, as well as the additional consumable companion types, are well thought out and well described, which is why they have support.
I also seem to remember that there is a post somewhere from the devs saying that they have listened to the community, who stated quite explicitly at the time that they did not want permanent combat-ability pets, and that they will not include them in the game as a result. I believe it was on one of the surveys that they sent out by email at one point, but you'd have to ask someone who kept the email since I don't have it. :U

I have a really old pet thread somewhere... I've been trying to dig it up. :P I think it was one of those 'good, well-balanced' pet ideas. Only 1 negative comment out of 40ish positive comments. :P

Yeah... unfortunately, quite a lot of the decent suggestions in here end up dying anyway amongst all the other stuff we see so much of. ._.
I feel depressed now.
I think I'm gonna go find that decent pet thread again and cry.

Engineer is Spy
The engineering concept originally came from here, then translated to English here, then I made my own version of the concept starting here with several other sections of the concept: equipment sets, other kinds of engineer equipment, and back in my first section details of how construction works.
I remember that old pet thread, I forget if I was for or against it. If anyone finds the link, post it.
I keep an index of decent threads here to an extent, excluding a few very old threads I have yet to dig up. If anyone finds something which should be indexed post a link for it.

"stop flamming about pets i saw you in many pet threads and everytime you flamme like: omg pets are stupid ,this is not pokemon QQ...
so why so many peopel open pet threads? cause so many peopel want theam!"
1) What are 'flamme's, 'peopel' and 'theam's? Really, make a little effort.
3) 'QQ' usually refers to whining about something. Stating 'this is not pokemon' and 'we have enough of these threads; use the search bar' as well as 'Ohlookitsthisthreadagain' =/= QQing
2) So? If I managed to make twenty alts, and get them each to open a thread saying 'i want pets', does NOT mean pets are a good idea and should totally be added.
If that was the case, the energy system would be gone by, like, three months ago. Get your facts straight. THEN try to straighten others'.
And as afore mentioned, they rarely have any thought put into them. An 'I want' thread a suggestion does not make.

OK back to OP, if it gonna happen, the darn pet should cost 500+ CE or even cash only, non-tradable. also there requires a pet slot which require 300+CE to unlock for 30 days. sound impressive? the pet couldn't do anything except following you stupidly even! so as a noob you couldn't enjoy it anyway, lol!

I love pets. Maybe we can called them an allies right..? There will be more entertaining and challenging when you have an allies. Maybe teach them is somewhat too childish. How about we have a confine ability or something.
This video explain everything.

And it is POSSIBLE to fit in Spiral Knight. No worries.

"so why so many peopel open
"so why so many peopel open pet threads? cause so many peopel want theam!"
Wow. That is the bigest load of crap I've ever...
The reason there are so many pet threads, are because all the people who make them are nose picking 6th graders that aren't even old enough to play the game. Instead of using the seach bar, they post threads on a whim as if they were comments. Of course, the threads are all the same non-creative idea that pretty much makes the game more expensive and less fun.
Imagine if people were allowed to make threads suggesting no pets. The first few pages would be full. Take the number of pet-hating comments in this thread, and multiply it by the number of pet threads you've seen. That's how few people want pets, compared to people who don't.
