SubetaLodge, which I know is far from official, listed Hoggus as a minion.

It looks like a minion, and the description would match that of a minion, but it's got no options for any item type. I'm curious if that was that intentional, or if it was forgotten to give it the minion item type, or if at some point it was accidentally made not a minion anymore? I want to get rid if it if it's not supposed to be a minion because I'm not overly fond of it.

It was a minion at some point, I remember getting one from the BHH and putting it in my gallery, it had an option to 'give to' pet, the option is now gone for me too...weird 0.o

Thank you so much! :)
