I absolutely do! For one, I've given certain minions sentience and the ability to speak (ie Tataru and Garuda) so as to add more personality to bounce off of Cecily's and give a comic foil. I also will use the Yo-Kai Watch minions in RP because how can I not? They're so interesting!
Have yourselves a great night, take care, and don't forget to say "hi" to Christopher Walken.
