Kind of breaks inmersion. There can’t and shouldn’t be an army of Frostbites around.
Baby Devour fits more, there are many of those, its a generic creature anyone can have. But the Frostbite reference is just weird.
I’m ok with other armors and weapons being sold since you could ask any blacksmith: “Hey, I want a Shield just like Braham’s.” But what if everyone has THE Frostbite?
Am I alone on this?

Well I mean… to be fair, we have a million mini eir, zojja, kasmeer, marjory, and a billion queen jennahs. Has that ruined your immersion too?

This said, I want a mini baby devourer!

Minis are toys / animated figurines. The devs have said that themselves at some point. They aren’t the actual “thing”.

There isn’t an army of Frostbites running around, there’s one actual Frostbite and a million little toys modeled after him.

I still want a real Frostbite for my Ranger

Was so cute when i entered the “Cornered” instance and Frostbite was jumping up and down

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

You could also presume that all albino devourer babies got called Frostbites after the one that became famous. This happened to the Collie dog breed at least in my country, it became Lassie because of the moviestar dog.

Wait, so mini Queen Jennah, Logan Thackeray, Rytlock, Ellen Kiel, Tequatl the Sunless… these didn’t bother you.

But Frostbite! Somehow, that crossed the line? Right. Okay.

It was just too much! :P
Guess I didn’t give too much thought to it. Although its sort of different for those…

^This. Just imagine that after Rox helped to take down Scarlet, she became well known along with the rest of DE2.0 and the BLTC decided to release a line of Frostbite toys to capitalize on their popularity. Frostbite is basically the team mascot, in my opinion.

Minis are just Tyria’s version of action figures, harmless little illusion golems that look like a cool thing and follow you around.

Edit: I was just thinking about how WEIRD it is for the Scarlet mini to be a thing, though. That would be like a child or an adult collector in the real world proudly displaying their LIMITED EDITION HITLER WITH KARATE CHOP ACTION.
