    Basically pet skins that would could find/farm/purchase that would affect the summoned/tamed pet (colors and even overall appearance!). This could be equipped in the possible future "Pet tab" menu, which would bring up a list of your available tamed pet or summons. Here is a short list of examples of skins and how it could work:

    Common:
    (Can be purchased from NPV(non player vendor)s)
    - Albino (universal tamed pet skin, white fur/scales/carapace/very dark red eyes)
    - Sea Rock (Exclusive to Earth/Ice elemental, changes the brown/white patterns to blue, central eye changes to light blue)
    - Evergreen (Exclusive to Water/Air/Fire Elemental, gives them a bright green tint)
    - Eclipse (Exclusive to Phoenix/Wisp, swaps their color palette)
    - Undead Bulwark (Gives Skeleton Footman a Helmet, and the Skeletal Mage a cloth chestpiece)
    - Reaper (Replaces the Lich Fighter's poleaxe with a scythe)

    Uncommon:
    (Has a small chance to drop from appropriate enemies, good chance from grey supply bundles)
    - Reindeer horns (Any, Krampus has a chance to drop)
    - Santa Hat (Any, Krampus has a chance of dropping it)
    - Pumpkin Helmet (Skeleton Footman/Mage, Fire, Air, and Water elemental only, Pumpkinhead may drop this)
    - Candy Corn Elemental (Earth/Ice Elemental only, replaces textures with Candy Corn, Pumpkinhead may drop this)
    - Heraldry Vest (Tamed pets only, pet dons a light vest with owner's heraldry emblazoned on it. May drop from Cabalists)
    - Earthen Guardian ( Tamed Bears only, replaces fur texture with a rocky one similar to the Earth Elemental. May drop from Earth Elementals and any of the Obsidian Bear family)
    - Sky Guardian (Tamed Wyverns/Drakes only. Turns the dragonoid ethereal, making somewhat invisible save for a faint outline and ritual binding).
    - Flame Guardian (Tamed Boars only. Replaces fur texture with flame and molten rock texture. May drop from Fire Elementals and Razorback boars.
    - Water Guardian (Tamed Crocodiles only. Replaces scaly textures with water and ritual bindings. May drop from any crocodile and Water Elementals.
    - Lunar Guardian (Tamed Spiders only. Replaces carapace texture with the Summoned Wisp's textures. May drop from Ferocious Spiders and Wisps.
    - Solar Guardian (Tamed Corpions only. Replaces carapace textures with light and fire. May drop from any Corpions and the Phoenix boss.

    Super Rare:
    (Boss drops, blue supply drops)
    - Unbound (Water/Fire/Air elementals only. Replaces the elemental with the appropriate vortex of water/fire/air.)
    - Forbidden Invocation (Changes Daemon into a Balron, making its skin grey and blotchy, turning its eyes bright red, its aura into a menacing black mist, and replaces its trident with a Chaos Blade (basically a two handed sword, but Chaos Blade sounds cooler :p). Only drops from Vrul)
    - Misspelled Invocation (Changes Daemon into an Imp, though keeping its original attacks. Low drop chance from imps)
    - Draconic Ancestry (Wyverns/Drakes only. Turns the dragonoid into an actual dragon, though it will retain its original size. Appropriate skin can drop from any dragon boss)
    - Aethyric Corruption (Lich Fighter/Wyvern/Corpions only. Transforms the Lich Fighter into an Aethyr Lich, a Wyvern into an Aethyr Dragon, and Corpion into an Aethyr Corpion. Drops from their appropriate bosses)

    There would be a lot more, but this is just an example to show how this could work.

    Sounds great.... assuming changing the "color" of a pet is fairly trivial code wise.
