I think the Yameba from Metroid Fusion would fit well on the Stardust Cell Staff, since it somewhat resembles it's shape.

yeah I could probably do that

Perhaps an interesting idea would actually be the Optic Staff, as you could actually model two X-cores for it. The melee minion for the staff could be one of the "melee" oriented X-cores which hold standard upgrades, and then the Laser minion could be the Beam Core X. I think it would be a fun little nod to the X-cores. (Sorry for a double post. I wasn't sure if you had comment notifications on. Feel free to delete a dupe.)

I think botwoon from Super Metroid could work for a worm like summon.
