These are all summons with forehead protector that I can find, it's quite rare
among the summons. For example, Sannin's summons, Inuzuka Clan's Ninkens and
the Ninnekos don't have forehead protectors.

Are the headbands are overall just for decoration purpose for the summons?

Weren't forehead protectors are worn by most Shinobi since the summons are
technically mini ninjas?

naruto
Why do some summons have forehead protector while most of others don't?


Forehead Protector in Naruto shows the symbol of Ninja's hidden village and
his loyalty towards it.

Similar can be assumed with Summoned animals, Summoned Animals with Summoned
animals with forehead protector seems to be loyal to one village only.

Even [naruto.wikia.com](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_Technique)
speculated the same :

> Summons may also wear a forehead protector, suggesting a loyalty to only one
> village.

Some don't wear a headband as well, because they too large, example being the
giant clam that the 2nd mizukage summons. Because the clam is to large it has
the villages insignia carved into its shell. Or in an opposite case the animal
path pain, several summons being too large and only loyal to pain.
