I have no idea why Hyuuga clan members don't have summons. I think Bats would fit very well with their motif, considering that Bats also serve as good sensors. I think there was a guy in the anime filler that utilized Bats. But seriously, the Hyuuga were supposed to be the shit, but they didn't have any summons, none of the long-range techniques that would have served them well and were arguably the least developed clan as the series progressed. Even the Nara clan got creative with their Hiden jutsu.

Speaking of the Nara Clan, I think Shikamaru's summon should have been a giant deer. With maybe huge antlers.

And while not a new summon idea, I was honestly disappointed with Baku. He was supposedly the "devourer of nightmares" as Tobi stated but he looked like a cheap ass, motherfucking Pokemon. I think he should have had a more ghoulish design to fit his reputation.

Also disappointed we haven't seen any other monkey summons aside from Enma. I think that would have been nice. They really missed that out by not giving Asuma a monkey summon.
