All depends on the definition of pet that has to be objectively chosen in advance before one decides to opt what is pet and what is not. I chose the way of intelligent companion and that is determined by either: * being a proactive agent


 * being semi-controllable


 * being an avatar of intelligent being

His soldiers are fully controllable and without any intelligent activity on their own. Hence they fall only under the last condition that detects cosmetic champions. If an object's behavior is fully under control of user, it can hardly be considered to be a pet. It is just a tool then, like e.g. 's axe.
