It would be very useful if you could made your pet lose they basic aliases (i.e. golem/gargoyle/etc) when you name them and leave only name as the only aliase.
Great idea, especially for red robes since they dont have the option of picking a pet with an obscure basic alias (wight, cat). I'm not sure why, but part of me wonders how much chaos would erupt if players responded to their class/race keywords. (e.g. if kill druid or hit elf would land on groupmates if they were druid/elf)
