Why is the Nunu's rework called Nunu & Willump? Like I get Willump exists and all, but why only to nunu? Why not Kled and Skarll, Annie and Tibbers, Ivern and Daisy, Graves and Cigar, or Quinn and Valor?

Kinda confuses me is all, why one and not the others, or are they planning to in the future?

Wasn't Quinn originally called Quinn & Valor?

I can only imagine that outside of kled and skarll, the others wouldn't be referenced since they are abilities, and are not mount/ bestie type characters. and with the exception of one ability for nunu and willump the primary character is actually willump and nunu is simply there to throw snowballs and make sure willump is a nice friendly.... thing?

In every other instance you've mentioned, the pet being isn't a self-aware, sentient being. Willump is capable of language, culture, and deep, critical thinking, like any evolved, intelligent being.

Daisy, Tibbers, Skarrl, and Valor aren't capable of this. Sure, Valor may be clever for a bird, but he's still a bird and has mental limitations that keep him from reaching this threshold. So they're all pets, which is why they're not part of the title.
