Since the minion is a drop from a dungeon, you can attempt to farm this with a Trust of NPCs to ensure you have a free roll on the item if it drops. However, running a dungeon with NPCs can sometimes take longer than with Players in the Duty Finder. The Wind-up Cagnazzo minion is also tradable and marketable, so you can find it on the Market Board, although at the moment the prices range into the millions of gil level, so grinding might be a better option.
The Wind-up Cagnazzo minion also has a unique interaction. If you target Wind-up Cagnazzo and use the /poke emote, Wind-up Cagnazzo will retract into his shell, take to the air, and spin around. This is almost certainly a homage to Gamera, the turtle kaiju who uses a similar motion to fly in some of his films!
